I was thinking about this last night.
After reading what you lot are saying it seems that (if I wanted to) I could put a couple of extra hours in my log book and know one would be none the wiser right?
What about when apply for your PPL? Lets say I've only done 40 hours and I want my licence so badly I scribble the extra 2 on there and then take my check ride and pass.
Would my licence still be issued?
BTW - I would never EVER do this.
