Default Re: Log book lies

It really comes down to integrity. The more verifiable your time is, the more points you'll score at an interview. But if you went out and flew a 1.0 but logged a 1.5, especially if you were flying your own plane and there was no paper trail, there's probably nothing to disprove what you're claiming. However, like a previous poster said, if you're the kind of person who is dishonest like that, it will show up in other places and eventually catch up with you.

By the way, how many people log "Hobbs" time? I'm guessing probably all or most of you do, but that's not how the FAA wants it counted. They want the time the airplane moves under it's own power for the purpose of flight until the airplane comes to rest at the conclusion of the flight. So, sportsfans, how many .1s or .2s in your logbook are bogus because you were sitting in the chocks with the engine running doing checklists?? You're all SO busted!!
