One is  ‘How to complete an electronic logbook information leaflet’ and the second is ‘Electronic logbook (e-log) FAQs’.  The information leaflet is intended to be a handy A4 size that could be kept in wheelhouses. The previously existing ELSS report page goes into a little more detail on each of the reports required when using an e-log. Read more.
