Log book - missing entries

Going over my records I've just noticed there are two entries in my log book which I should have made, but didn't. No idea why - I have receipts for my payment, and notes in my notebook, which confirm that I did definitely fly on those two days.
Do I need to go back and try to squeeze them in between the lines in my log book? Can I just add them at the next blank line (or do the entries have to be in strict date order)? Do I have to erase or scribble out all the subsequent entries and rewrite them to make room for these rogue entries?

No idea!

I'd enter them in the log book on the next new line.

You missed them, it was a genuine mistake, and you corrected it.

If I was told that I was wrong I think I would tell the person who told me there must be something more improtant in their life - go worry about it - but you do get a fair amount of that in aviation .

(Go on now tell me I am wrong at your peril )

Just add them on the next free line and put a note in the remarks section. No big deal, my logbooks got a few of those after 14 years, never seems to have been a problem sending off for various licence issues.

Even pilots are allowed to be human....occasionally.

Blimey, I must have close on a 100 out of sequence! I always seem to miss a leg somehow when doing long trips. I just tag them on at the end. They very rapidly disappear into the pages of my logbook. I am on my 4th logbook now and you would have thought I would have learnt by now!

I found loads of errors in mine when I went through it with a fine tooth comb before my CPL test several years ago.

I just added them in with a heading "Corrections" and made a note in the remarks column. No one seems to mind....

IIRC, it doesn't say anywhere that flights have to be logged in date order. They just often are (for obvious reasons...)

You can log them in any order that you wish.

Any order is fine but if they are from 5 years ago I would put in a note in comments.
