Log Book

 

Log Book All glider pilots are required to keep a log book (issued by the British Gliding Association) to record their experience and competence. During training it is usually augmented by one or more training syllabus cards (see links below). The log book helps the instructors to gauge your ability. The pilot enters the details of each flight, and the instructor enters their comments and initials as a formal record of the flight. The cover of my well-thumbed first log book is shown on the left.

In the following pages I have reproduced the first hundred flights from my paper Log Book, adding additional further notes where appropriate. If a soaring flight was achieved, the maximum height achieved is coloured red. For completeness I have also added weather information. You will see that after going solo I quickly enrolled on a "Solo-to-Bronze" training course which resulted in a higher level of dual (two-seater) flying.
