One of the primary purposes of maintaining your pilot logbook is to "show currency"... for your instructor's endorsement, during a ramp check, during your checkride (or on an 8710 prior to a checkride), renting an aircraft, buying hull insurance, applying for a job, mission qualification... Partial view of Frank's Pilot Currency. Frank is joining a flying club, and they want to know his C172 experience. So he selects C172, under A/C Make & Model, and includes Airplane SEL. He can also limit the view to a specific aircraft Tail Number... or of course view totals for all aircraft. Frank can search on any combination of columns. So if he wants, say his total Instrument Approaches in AMEL on solo night cross-country flights, he can punch it up quickly. Frank set up his five time frames (Last 30 Days, etc.) according to his preferences, and he can change them at any time, in case of any other "special" requests.

Check out these examples... Give me the total number of instrument approaches performed, in ASEL during solo night cross country flights, for the last 6 months, in high performance aircraft. Give me the dual instruction I have received in N70TB. Give me my flight totals for SES and MES, in all aircraft, last 90 days. Give me the no. of "C1" missions where I acted as flight instructor, for the past year, in ASEL. Give me the associated expenses for any of the above examples. Give me the totals for page 3 of my second paper logbook...so I can check them against that logbook.
