Logging route of flight

Heya everyone,


Hopefully this is a new one here.

How does everybody log their route of flight with their students? I.E. When I go out and do approaches at three different airports I'll put in each of the airports in the route of flight and log the same in my logbook. This is how my instructor logged my time, but I've been told by some other folks that I work with that they just put in the route of flight as the departure airport. So instead of putting:

3CM-MBS-3BS-3CM

They'll just put

3CM-3CM

And then put that they did approaches at MBS, 3BS and 3CM.

Any opinions on the matter? I don't want my lobgook to look too screwy when I get to an interview, so I'm curious what everybody else is doing.
 
Personally I only put an airport in the route section if we touched the ground there. Doesn't really matter though, the airlines don't give a rip.
 
Doesnt matter. either way is fine.

just had an argument with an instructor about this very same thing. I logged 1G3-CAK-1G3. but we only did approaches at CAK, didnt land there. She said that is illegal bla bla bla.

Anyway, FSDO says its fine to log it my way, all it says in the logbook is "route of flight" not "places where you touched the ground"
 
Appreciate it IO-360 balls :)

When you gettin' down here man? Austin told me you were talkin' about doing your MEI with him.

So whatever Departed and Arrived means.:confused:

Another one of those Gray Areas.

I list only points of landing in the route column, with approaches listed in the remarks.

Same here, but not because it's right or wrong. I think it's more convenient.

I list only >50NM in my cross country column. Flights with no landings other than where are stared are listed as "XYZ Local." Those with touchdowns at other airports are XYZ-ABC-AXY. "Local" becomes a quick way to locate all the cross country flights, not just the >50 NM variety.

Works even better in my computer log. If I need to know my "Part 135 cross country" I just run a total on entries where the route of flight does not contain the word local.
 
My logbook only has spaces for Depart and Arrive. I put the route in the remarks section. Thats on the papaer log anyways. Computer log is much more detailed.
