Hey Tomo, Just a comment about your airspeed story.

 

I use a quick check in the ground roll to check for things like that.

 

It's basically a 'airspeed alive' and a 'little back pressure' If airpseed doesnt rise as expected, abort (runway distance permitting of course)

 

 

I look forward to it if you decide to throw it in then! :)

 

 

Might have to add a feature to export from my program to that website...hmmmmm......

Sounds like a great idea! I don't think it'd be too difficult to implement if you're fluent with excel.

 

 

I use a website called "http://flightlogg.in"

 

As an example how it all looks, here's mine. Flights - FlightLogg.in - Electronic Pilot Logbook

 

 

If you're planning on venturing into Controlled Airspace, I use a simple acronym to jot down the clearance. The first letter is written vertically like this;

 

C - leared to (destination, where ever)

 

R - oute (the route atc wants you to take)

 

A - ltitude

 

F - requency after departure (sometimes relevant)

 

T - ransponder (4 digit squawk code)

 

In an example; ATC's call to you 'Bravo tango romeo, you're cleared to parafield coastal off shore via outer harbour, then planned route. maintain 1500, squawk 3404.'

 

Written like this;

 

C PPF

 

R coastal outer harbour (can just use a shorter version, its just for short term memory)

 

A 1500

 

F ----

 

T 3404

 

Hope this helps!
