Still counting landings?

[Mattyg36]

Okay so I'm sitting here updating my paper log book via foreflight and it just got me to thinking when or if did any if you stop counting landings? Or is it something you should always count?

Guess my real question is would a prospective employer be any less impressed if you quit counting landings at 2,000+?

From 1972 to 2005 I never counted landings except night landings.

In 2005 my new GPS logged landings, then ForeFlight came along.

The way I see it as long as you don't leave any aircraft up there...

I quit totaling them after my first logbook. I still log it in the day landing or night landing column but I don't total them at the bottom.

Best if your takeoffs and landings are equal,...

Ahhh..didn't think about it like that...guess I figured if they see the hours they assume your current.

Idk, if you can show more Landings than takeoffs id be impressed

I have more takeoffs than landings
they're all from high mins wx restrictions when first hitting the line.

FO does takeoff but at destination the wx is such that the CA must/wants to perform the landing. Can happen for a host of reasons.

I do as well. FOs can't do CAT III here, field went 600RVR or something on my leg and I had to give up the landing.

Also, crashing.

Having used to do interviews, and logbook "recon" for a regional, I, nor my compatriots, cared about logging landings.

Much more important things to look at in the 2-3 minutes per logbook overview. (Checkride failures, logging SIC in single pilot aircraft) basic things that would peak our curiosity.

Does skydiving count? If so, I've got a significant delta.

There have been insurance companies that have asked me for time in type and landings in type. This was for a vintage tailwheel so I had to provide # of landings for that.

Yea, but I don't see a column to log those.

Yeh, I'm up to 937.

No column for takeoffs, but that can be reasonably assumed to be the same.

Water landings count also right?

I worked for a guy who has 2 more take-offs than landings.

Both times in a Skyhawk, he was the only one in the aircraft.

????

Both times he avoided capture making it to Feet Wet off the coast of Vietnam.

Yes, it was a Skyhawk. An A4 Skyhawk.

He has a very cool picture on a carrier deck climbing out of a helicopter holding his helmet soaking wet.

Sorry, couldn't find any pictures of someone leaving an A4.

Well clearly I'm easily impressed

I've never totaled landings. Waste of time.
