Missing logbook pages?

[pscraig]

I've scored an interview with an airline next month, and in preparation I dug out my old logbooks for the interview. When I find my first logbook it's in a box under several Jepp books, open, with the major portion of three pages torn out. No sign of the missing paper. About 1/2" of each page is still attached near the binding, but that's it. I have all the flight data from a computer logbook, but what is the proper way to handle this? I don't want to get eaten alive on the interview.

Any interview experts out there?

Not an expert here, but my first logbook was a mess. Might of well be written (and handled) by a five year old.

Thought I'd post my progress here in the event this happens to someone else.

I called the FSDO, and the inspector suggested recreating the pages and placing a note on each of the pages (I used a laser address label) that the flight data was reconstructed in accordance with FAA Order 8700.1 and is an accurate statement, along with your signature. Order 8700.1 suggests using company dispatch, student, fuel, mx, and other available information to reconstruct missing data. The end result looks clean, and is legal.

What the FSDO guy said sound good. Just produce your computer logbook as the "primary" recond and leave the damaged logbook with the legal and approprite corrections as a backup. Maybe they'll never notice.
