And then there are the real 'cheats' who not only log the time simultaneously but don't even fly the aircraft, i.e. fly from A to B on paper but actually land not too far away at C, a remote unmanned airfield, chock the aircraft and leave the engine running up the Hobbs Meter. They then claim 3 hours flown which in reality was 40 minutes of flight plus 2 hours 20 minutes iPad time!
There should be a central ICAO register of aviation brain-dead, morons, against which any national applicant needs to be checked prior to licence issue. Anyone on that list gets a big fat naff-off tablet when applying for a licence. Further, there should be no national deviations from this rule. Saying that, some countries may find themselves with a massive shortage of pilots all of a sudden!
