Do employers use Flight Aware to verify flights in your logbook?

Some VFR flights do show up if you are getting flight following. I cant imagine how useful using it would be, but I suppose a blatant wrongful entry could be caught.

I was thinking more along the lines of logging flights to different places or total falsification of entries. Not just an extra few tenths.

It's an interesting question. I'm thinking that if one's logbook is legit it really doesn't much matter either way though, does it?

No, no and no. Most 121 recruiting ops assume that a very small percentage of everyones flight time is in error or BS.

No, at least I wouldn't think so. That would take entirely way too much time.Having said that, you should still keep your logbook straight.

Prison time and up to $250,000 in fines if you get caught. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I can understand your reaction toward the "BS" part of that comment, but so far as errors in the logbooks, I have read in numerous places about questions in interviews about if the applicant thinks his/her logbook is 100% correct. Apparently the gist of the ensuing conversation at the interview is that most peoples' logbooks have some error, somewhere....that a 100% correct logbook, especially at the time/experience level that people are applying for Part 121 flying, is unrealistic. There is usually something missed somewhere. Again, I think you are correct that 121 agencies don't assume that their applicants have falsified time in their books...but I think they DO assume that there will be little errors here and there.

Flightaware would be useless unless you're loogbook shows something like 60hrs of ME time in the past week. Flightaware only goes back 3 or 4 days I think.

The thing is all it takes is a call or message to them and you can have your tail number 'disappear' if you will. Many of the Fortune 500 companies or any company a/c will be 'unavailable' at the request of the owner.

If there's a question at all if you've got "Parker P-51 Time", they're not going to spend an inordinate amount of time to research it, they're not going to offer you a job. Also, on the topic, most HR reps that deal with pilots are on a first name basis too!
