Default Logbook: Solo Endorsements

I've searched the threads and couldn't find an answer...

When I started flight training, I bought the Jeppesen Professional Pilot Logbook so I wouldn't have to carry around a smaller logbook from my training once it filled up. However, now that I just completed my Pre-Solo Aeronautical Knowledge and my first Solo Flight is approaching in less than a week, the Jeppesen Professional Pilot Logbook does not have any endorsement sections dedicated to these like other logbooks (such as the Sporty's Senior Logbook).

Does anybody have any suggestions what to do?

Thanks in advance!

Your flight instructor will figure out a creative answer. Some will use endorsement stickers, some will take over a notations page, some will use the back cover and any blank pages. There's no worries, any instructor worth their ink will find a way.

Best of luck with the solo!

I usually use the notes section for endorsements, no matter the logbook. I'm not a fan of the pre-packaged endorsements, so I'll usually go word for word from the Advisory Circular containing all of the endorsements. That way if anybody ever had an issue with one of them I can say I worded it exactly as the FAA recommended. Pain in the arse and maybe a bit unnecessary to use the space but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Like jedinein said, any CFI worth his salt will find a way to do it.

I have a lot of endorsements written in to my logbook, but now I always type out my endorsements on Word and then print them on labels. It looks a lot nicer and I regret not doing this from the beginning.

That's exactly why I asked - I would like for my logbook to be as neat as possible and the same throughout - Thanks!

I was also wondering if my instructor would mind me writing my logbook entries when I got home and the next lesson he could sign off on them? Do instructor's mind their student's doing that?

I don't see why he would care, but thats something to ask your instructor, not us.

Also, you mentioned that you did not want to get the small logbook because it would fill up, then you would carry multiple logbooks around. After your PVT, you SHOULD NOT carry your logbooks with you because you are not required to do so.

Once a logbook is filled up it only has one destination unless needed for an interview, a safety deposit box or equivilant safe keeping

I don't think you can PM yet, but when you can PM me your email address and I can email you some labels I have done and you can use those as a template if you want.

Keep your logbook nice and neat from the beginning. Mine was a mess in the beginning. Also, make sure you double-check the entries your instructor does (if he/she doesn't let you do the entries yourself). I've had them make errors and then discovered it later when my single engine time and multi engine time did not add up to my total time or day and night time did not add up to my total time.
