Think there was an incident a few years ago of a pilot in the south coast of England a pilot on a trip, didn't check the fuel level in his tanks, ran out of fuel very quickly and put it down in a field.
The CAA threw the book at him for running out of fuel, the subsequent investigation revealed a huge falsification of hours in his logbook. He ended up in court and was found guilty.
I remeber the defence lawyer speaking of his client that he wanted to be a commercial pilot and falsifed his details to reduce the time it took him.
Just shows, you cut corners in logging hours, you cut corners in your walk round, it'll catch up on you eventually.
When I was in the states flying with an instructor, the instructor said to me that I could log the hours as solo, my concience would not let me and I logged them as duel.

I realy think you were being very naive in your posting, PPRUNE stands for PROFESSIONAL Pilots rumour network!!! What did you expect in reply from professionals? Did you expect replies to say it was absolutely fine and tell him to go ahead and send his logbook in? Frankly I am quite astonished by this post.
