How to use this guide

A short preparation route on the website. The full explanations, examples and sources are in the PDF.

01 · Define the purpose

Personal records, an interview and evidence of experience for the FAA may require different reports. Start with the recipient’s instructions. Keep old logbooks, exports and statements; choose one primary database and a reference date.

02 · Keep the source of every total

If only monthly totals survive, do not invent individual flights. Check time units, category definitions and duplicates during migration. Do not automatically equate categories from different systems; resolve uncertain entries using source records and applicable rules.

03 · Assemble and print a sample

A useful set includes a summary, an explanation of the history, the main report, extended remarks and supporting records. Before ordering a binder, print a few complex pages at actual size. Check margins, readability, holes and duplex printing. Keep an independent backup.

This is practical RSA guidance, not an official employer or regulator instruction. Current requirements and your documents take priority.
