A tip. For those of you just starting out, take the time to make a nice clean logbook. We have Gabriel here from ROTOR school in Florida working on his CFI. In my 25 years, this is one of the cleanest logbooks I've ever seen. If you guys want to come over and just he doesn't mind showing, look how nice, neat, clean everything looks there. So there's an example of day to day pages and then here's our endorsements we're working on for the cfi. He's got a section for the ground training, all the endorsements ready and then we're filling them out as we go. In 25 years of teaching, this is one of the cleanest logbooks I've ever seen and it's super duper impressive. So those of you that have already screwed your log books up, I don't know what to tell you. So for you newbies, take the time, fill these out slowly, print them neatly. It's so we're going to start his check right off on a good note because examiner is going to see this logbook and immediately know that he has got his act together by the time and meticulous work he's done with his logbook. So for newbies, take the time to make a really nice logbook. Instructors, do the right job, sign properly, fill it out properly, take your time and make nice neat endorsements. That is so freaking impressive. Peace out.
