name in logbook

[yzfer]

Just taking a quick poll as im curious what everyone out there puts in their personal logbook when they are refering to themselves? Do you simply put Self or do you put your last name? Or something else? Thanks.

[deflux]

I put first initial last name

[Colibri]

Self

[ZBBYLW]

I started using my first inital and last name, but since then have restarted my log book using self. Self makes more sense as it can never be mistaken, where if I took up someone with the same first inital and my same last name it can be confused.

[roger.roger]

It makes sence rightup until you fly with someone named self......since than I've used my last name

[B-rad]

I just put a prick of blood.. seams to work

[50'minimums]

durring flight school............SELF
after first flying job.........SUCKER

[metal]

Last name for me.

[. ._]

I put 'self' because I saw an old WWII RAF log book and that's what the pilot used.

[Tim]

last name for me, first initial and last name for anyone i fly with

What is a logbook?

[Liftdump]

My day is off to a great start cause of CAT'S post.

[U/S]

Self.

[countryhick]

What is a logbook?

You know, Cat, that dusty, hard covered, book type thing that was last seen in the shed underneath the coffee container with all the nails and screws in it.......

[iflyforpie]

SLEF.

When I used to fill a page a day sometimes the letters got mixed up.

[Cat Driver]

I have a vague memory of having owned some log books, however I quit keeping them because every time I got divorced my ex wife's kept them as mementos and possibly as sexual enhancers.

[young grasshopper]

Uhhh...just reminded me that I need to do my yearly logbook entries... Oh well - when the the new "TC mandated Personal Logbooks" come into effect (with your mugshot plastered/watercoloured into each page), maybe it'll inspire me to update it once a month...lol...

[HORUNNER]

I go by "TATTER SALAD"

[Lurch]

What's this about?

I write nothing

If it's written in your logbook you obviously were there, Write the name of the other crew member and thats it, the PIC/CO column will decide where you were sitting.

[Tim]

I go buy "TATTER SALAD"

how much does the tatter salad cost?

[TG]

So far yzfer you have a cool list:

Self,
First initial last name,
first initial and last name,
Prick of blood,
During flight school............SELF. After first flying job.........SUCKER,
Last name,
Toby but with an I,
Nothing,
No logbook
SLEF
TATTER SALAD
etc...



Where is "Parker Pen"

[Louis]

Initial and last name does it for me. I sometimes write the full name the first time a person appears in my log.

Plus there was a policy letter TC issued to Quebec FTUs that stated they wanted it like that in PTRs as well. (Part of a set named the Procédures pour les Unités de formation au pilotage du Québec - PUQ") IIRC, it said something about photocopies and loose pages being identifiable.

Haven't used "Moi" so far and I don't plan to either, and I've already flown with a lady whose last name was Self.

Thanks for the interesting responses. if i cant decide on one particular wording, I may just start throwing in random entries from the forum in the future so when im old, senile, and everything is new again i can look back and wonder what the hell i was thinking.
