Mr.Hat,
We were told they are targetting forgery. I had a discrepancy of 7.5 hrs and could justify the error. This was OK with the inspector.
Eeper,
"What on earth were they forging? Hours on the aircraft that they had been flying? Or hours on an aircraft type they hadn't been flying?"
One of the young chaps claimed 250 hrs command spread over a 3 month period on JWX a Duchess. Apparently it was a Sydney based aircraft online with one of the flying schools. He did this to get some multi time and bring his total hours to 1000 hours as required by the operator at the time to secure a job.
The problem was JWX was written off in a fatal crash in Sydney, some 12 months prior to what he claimed in his log book! The rego VH-JWX was then assigned to a helicopter. CASA knew JWX at the time was in fact a helicopter not a Duchess.
