Like Frank, I add a column to my pilot logbook for time in my own plane. I don't log flights separately in the aircraft logbook, so I used the pilot logs to add it up when I needed to make a maintenance entry (until I bought the Starduster, the first plane I've had in years with an hour recording tach). I get pilot time from the clock on the panel or GPS log.
