I recently signed off a Flight Review in a logbook that had "Engine HP" as one of the columns. The pilot has been flying a long time, but said he had to dig up an old logbook for me to sign. I suppose his company records served as a log, so he didn't keep his own.
Now, this logbook was rather old, so I suppose that keeping a log of "Engine HP" was considered important at one time. Does anybody know the details of this? How was this information used? Was it important toward ratings, or some other purpose? (For example, did you have to have 100 hours with less than 200 hp before you could fly something with more than 200 hp, or something like that?)
Just curious. Thanks.
