Yesterday, after not crashing during touch-and-goes, we worked on planning for a cross country flight. I found it rather fun since, contrary to my stick-and-rudder skills, I know how to use a pencil.
My instructor gave me a copy of a navigation log he uses, which can be found here. However, there was a section that he said he didn’t use, and a little chart for fuel and time that we had to add to the sheet by hand.
That will not do.
“I’m going to redo this and put that chart on the sheet,” I said. Things have to be just so. Finally. The design skills are being put to use!
And so, here is the revamped version of the navigation log with the fuel/time chart included: Navigation Log (PDF). I have a slightly larger version of it here (PDF). I have the list my flight instructor made as far as how to go about filling in the navigation log (I like lists), plus a sample, here (PDF). I’ve also made a slightly “simplified” Navigation Log for those looking for something a little quicker to fill out: Navigation Log: Simplified (PDF)
UPDATE: You can also preview/download/print the documents for free at Scribd.com.

- Navigation Log (larger size)
- Navigation Log (“simplified”)
- Sample Nav Log
UPDATE 2: After using the Navigation Log for a dry run of the cross country flight, I decided I could see why the original version had that section, but why I would also want the fuel chart. So…I redid it yet again, and changed it to include all of it in a slightly different layout. You can get that version here (PDF).
