Where must the minimum 200 hours of PIC time be entered to tow a glider?

• A. In the pilot's logbook
• B. In the airman medical certificate file
• C. In the flight plan
• D. In the aircraft maintenance log

Answer: (A)

The amount of PIC time required to tow a glider must be recorded in the pilot’s logbook, which is the official record of a pilot’s flight time and qualifications. This logbook entry is what regulators look at to verify that a pilot meets the minimum 200 hours of PIC time for towing operations. The other documents serve different purposes: the airman medical certificate file tracks medical fitness, the flight plan is for route and operational planning, and the aircraft maintenance log records airworthiness and maintenance history. So the logbook is the correct place to document this qualification.
