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

Re: Do employers use flightaware to verify flights in logboo

Who would have that kind of time?

Re: Do employers use flightaware to verify flights in logboo

Plus, VFR flights don't show up.

Re: Do employers use flightaware to verify flights in logboo

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.

Re: Do employers use flightaware to verify flights in logboo

Not really since I have waited 30 mins to depart before and all that taxi time is part of the block to block time.

Re: Do employers use flightaware to verify flights in logboo

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

Re: Do employers use flightaware to verify flights in logboo

AG3FLy- you asked this in another thread also. Whats the catch??

Re: Do employers use flightaware to verify flights in logboo

For real?

Re: Do employers use flightaware to verify flights in logboo

I just wasn't sure where to post it. No catch. Ive only applied for one job and I've been at it for over a year. I'm not sure how the hiring process really goes. A new super (that knows nothing about aviation) was hired at my place of employment and brought up the subject, so I figured Id post the question.

Re: Do employers use flightaware to verify flights in logboo

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

Re: Do employers use flightaware to verify flights in logboo

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.

Re: Do employers use flightaware to verify flights in logboo

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

Re: Do employers use flightaware to verify flights in logboo

:yup:

Only if you include the time on an 8710. Otherwise, you're probably only committing insurance fraud.

Re: Do employers use flightaware to verify flights in logboo

Why is that funny?

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.

Re: Do employers use flightaware to verify flights in logboo

Just laughing at the BS part.

Re: Do employers use flightaware to verify flights in logboo

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.

Re: Do employers use flightaware to verify flights in logboo

I would almost hope they did, because there is a lot of BS in some logs.
How would it ever be possible to prove that, though?
