Have I read it correctly where you don't need to keep a logbook after 7 years post the last entry?

For someone who has a 40 year career that is alot of data you don't need to have!
The provision that worries me is the related one that says you commit an offence if you do not ensure that each entry in the logbook is retained unaltered throughout the 7 year period after the last entry was made: reg 61.355(2)(b).

Don't go changing that 4.3 to 3.4 when you realise, in retirement, it was an error!

$8,500 thanks.

So far as I can tell, the only way in which you're lawfully permitted to correct an error in a logbook is by direction from CASA under reg 61.360(3). Of course if you don't comply with that direction, you commit an offence.

$8,500 thanks.

Thank heavens for mother CASA to guide us through the incomprehensible complexities of log book entries.
