Congratulations! The first job is the hardest one to get!

I wish someone had suggested to me, what I am about to suggest to you. Take lots of pictures.... then add the special ones into your log book. 30 years later... you'll be glad you did.

I started 10+ years ago after seeing the logbook of one of my peers, and now my log book is a joy to 'read'. I've included small stories with the pictures, and it's not unusual for one of my kids to pick it up and read it! It's a wonderful keepsake.

In the world of electronic log books, it won't hurt to keep a hardcopy book with lots of pics of aircraft, people, situations and so on. I promise you.. you won't regret it! My only regret is that I didn't start doing it in 1972 when I started this wonderful career!

Good idea on the logbook pictures Batman. I was fortunate to see someone doing that when I started in this business in the late 70's (it was "squeaky" I think?) and I have put pictures in all of my logbooks ever since, (3 full sized books so far).
I was getting a TC endorsement once, and was worried about what they may say when viewing my log....the Inspector loved it !

Way to go buddy you deserved it. Will have to go for a pint(s) at the local pub to celebrate the feat.

 

[graunch1]

I agree witht eh picture taking throughout yout career but make sure you get pictures of people not just aircraft as they are the most important pictures to keep.


Good luck

Con-Grats Flinger, nice to see the guys with dedication get the oppurtunity. The rest of the fellas are right about the log book, especially pics of the people you have met along the way. It's truley all that matters in the long run. Again best of luck on your new adventure.

Cheers, BD6.

Great to see Flinger. You'd be the mouse who fell into the cream pail and treaded water until he stepped out of the butter to move onward. Well done.
