Yep, word of warning to any fool thinkng of trying this scam; THE CAA DO CHECK YOUR LOGS.
Recently, a young friend of mine did his IMC at a flight school in scotland, and sent his logbook away at pretty much the same time as the CAA did an audit of this school (they had only recently aquired an AOC)
Result? 8 weeks for a logbook to be returned to him, and when he next flew with the school it transpired that the CAA bods had went through the schools logs with a fine toothcomb; even going so far as to check ATC booking out logs and so on to confirm it was all genuine....apparently they even checked to see the ILS landings in his book were real and as documented by the tower.
If this isnt warning enough, please ask yourself this; if you have accrued the means to gain your ppl, then surely you can somehow raise the necessary funds to keep current. Credit card, overdraft...anything?!?
Dont do it anyone - you may kill yourself, or worse, someone else.
