I did not fill in all the blanks while I was flying since I had a ground crew who could write them down for me. My prime fill-in-the-blanks fields were stall speed and my final approach speed, the other blocks were to remind me to scan the instruments looking for gross errors. That is important since a first flight is a sensory overload experience. I have a Dynon D-180 that logged all of the data for post-flight analysis. Good luck to you and your CFI!! -------- David Gallagher 601 XL/Jabiru 3300 First flight 7/24/08 Upgraded 3/19/10 160+ hours and climbing!

It would give you all the flight information necessary to know the flight characteristics of your airplane, that I would want for a POM, in a very complete and compact format.
