Hi Folks,
Hope Everybody's Holiday Season is going great. I've been spending the last couple of days getting my collective stuff together to gear up for interviews and re-double-double checking my log book I've found some issues that I really just need to get some feedback on from folks that are smarter on this than me. Won't take much trust me. Ok here go's
- My entries while I was working toward my PPL (circa 1991 time frame)
I've discovered some discrepencies and I'm not sure how to deal with
them
Student Pilot
-- Missing Endorsements: - Pre-Solo Flight Training at Night,
- 2 Solo X-C Endorsements
- Aeronautical Knowledge Test
- Flight Proficiency/Practical Test Endorsemnt (the one that says your ready for the Practical Test!
yeah, not there
Basically kept my original logbook all these years so when I got back into training to finish my ratings, it never really seemed to be an issue except for a quick mention by my instructor that was all that was said. I do have all my ratings now up to CFI/II/MEI so NOW that I'm preparing for interviews I'm wondering if this will be any kind of issue.
Here's Another: How have you all logged your cross country time?
FAR 61.1 (3) makes the distinction between "landing at a point other than the point of departure" AND, "the point of landing being more than 50 NM from point of departure."
Soo.., This is how I've been told to handle that.., Log ALL flights to other airports as Cross Country, ALL of em.., BUT make a (pen)mark in the blocks of Cross Country flights that are more than 50 NM to distinguish them from the ones that are less than 50 in distance because these go toward Private/Commercial/Instrument rating Aeronautical experience requirements.
Just wondering how everybody else has been logging these.
Finally.., After getting my PPL in the Tomahawk/Warrior, I got qualified in the Arrow PA-28R 200 (Single Eng 200HP/Complex) for those not familiar. The endorsement I was given was a "High Performance Endorsement." (Now adays this would require a "Complex Endorsement" and a High Perf only if the engine is GREATER than 200 HP which MY Arrow wasn't) This was back in 1991 so I think the regs were different then. Tried to research this on the FAA web sight looking for Archived FARs (1991) but no luck.
So my thinking is either I got the wrong endorsement, or a "High Perf" Endorsement applied to 200 HP engines AND meant "Complex" back in 1991?
In any case when I get to the interview I just really wanna be prepared with something to address the missing endorsements. Appreciate any feedback, Thanks everybody have a great New Years!
