Logbook Preparation
Overwhelmed by data entry?
We offer “Done for you” logbook auditing and printing services.
1
Accuracy & Presentation
Your logbook will be thoroughly evaluated against your application. Strive for perfection. Whether digital or handwritten, neatness reflects your attention to detail.
- Review every page for errors or omissions.
- Calculate flight hours and cross-reference with your application.
- Ensure every page is signed.
2
Create a Flight Summary Sheet
A one-page summary allows the interview team to quickly evaluate your experience. Place this at the very front of your logbook.
Recommended Data Points:
Part 121/135: Breakdown by seat
Certificates: Type Ratings, Medical
3
Tab Important Events
Make it easy for recruiters to validate your milestones. Cross-check events like solos, checkrides, and type ratings.
Note: Only tab existing information. Do not retroactively create columns if your logbook format didn’t track specific items originally.
4
Audit & Sync Application
If you switched from paper to digital, bring your paper logbooks as backup. Ensure the totals match exactly.
Crucial: Update your UAL application to match your final logbook totals exactly, specifically:
- Aircraft Flow Section (Flight times / Date last flown)
- 12 Month Recency Section
- Part 121/135 Experience Totals
5
Printing & Binding
For electronic logbooks, the physical presentation sets the tone.
- Ensure all flight time reflected on application is logged.
- Create a professional cover sheet (Name, Contact Info).
- Insert the Flight Summary Sheet as the first page behind the cover.
- Professionally bind the pages (spiral or leather binder).
Military Pilot Specifics
For service members, your record keeping office provides the primary documents. However, organization remains key.
Checklist
- Obtain flight record printouts (HARM/FEF).
- Check for discrepancies.
