Not to be petty, but Washington is on the one dollar bill. Ben Franklin is on the hundred. The money you have been given is fake.

Too funny! :smt073

thanks for the replies appreicate it, guess Im gonna head up to TC and see what they can do for me. I will definatley be keeping a backup log somewhere. And for the record the reason my log book was in my flight bag was the I had just returned from the airport doing an IFR renewal and went out for a few pops after and while at the bar my car was broken into. Oh well shit happens I guess, lesson learned.
Cheers

sounds good xray

The only left for me to say is....

I'm sure you've heard about people who, after hitting a certain ## of hours (like 10 grand or something) people just stop logging it. Why bother right? Well I know a guy who has around 30,000 hours of flying up north. He did the same thing and then one day (not sure why anymore) transport wanted to see his log book. They made him reconstruct over 5000 hours. Now I don't know about you, but when I took my first log book a while ago and transcribed my first 250 into a new book (because of the massive mess) it took me a while and wasn't a whole lot of fun.

Word.

RSC :

Good one, I have no idea why I said Geo W. you are of course correct it is Ben Franklin who is on the hundred dollar bill.

Someone is pulling your leg on that story, there is no way on earth that TC can demand you show a personal log of all your flying time...maybe you could do a quick check in CAR's and find out exactly what you must log.

Once you are no longer applying for a higher license or an endorsement you only have to keep a personal log to prove recency and that is only five take offs and landings in a specified time frame...

Cat:

Yeah, you're probably right. Lord knows, I don't take everything for face value in this industry.

Couple of the good ones I've heard:

"I'm getting so many hours, I'm turning down time"

"Well, keep in touch - I may have something for you in the spring" (from a friend)

"A aviation diploma from our school will get you a job, just like that!" (fell for that one)

"There's going to be a pilot shortage soon."

"Of course I know the answer, but you look it up and get back to me."

"Of course I checked the fuel before takeoff"

and the one that everybody's heard:

"I'm from TC and I'm here to help you (and I know what I'm talking about)"

I agree with Swamp on this one....leave your logbook at home...no need to carry it with you.....write in it once a week untill you get your ATPL...then write in in whenever you want.....try and keep it up to date within 6 months or so.....it can be hard to get caught up...
