Hi!
I already posted this on the "wannabe" forum, but I thought I might get more replies here.
Sorry for the double post though...
I was sitting around discussing what a pilot would have to do if he lost his logbook, and I thought I'd check and see what you all think about this.
Imagine a pilot that keeps 1 written logbook where he, obviously, logs every single flight. Our pilot also keeps an electronic version, but he only keeps track of total time, PIC time, SE time, ME time etc. No individual flights. If he lost his written logbook, could he legally buy a new 'paper' logbook, and just transfer the hours from the electronic one, and start over? Could he create a statement 'swearing' that the hours are correct, and signing it?
This is assuming there is no way of going back and checking every single flight. Oh, and this is in regards to FAA policy...
I hope that question made sense!??!
