In 1998 there was an agreement in place that recognised the adding of a 'random figure' to RAF logbook times when using them towards a civilian licence. That figure was 10 minutes per sortie for fast jet aircraft and 10 minutes per sortie for training aircraft. I do not know what the figure was for other types.
I no longer have the reference that permitted this back then but I DO have a certificated logbook entry to that effect dated 6 Jan 1998. I do not know when this came into effect and have no idea when and if it stopped.
