If you are a professional pilot you can use company records to help duplicate your logbook. In fact, that is one of the purposes of that form.ĥ) Company Records. You can easily duplicate a logbook from this information. Near the bottom of the form you will fill in a table that documents your flight hours and experience. When you go to take your checkride you will fill out a form 8710 which is basically your airman application form.

You are in a great position in that you have less than 40 hours accumulated so it won’t be nearly the chore it could have been, if say you had like 4,000 hours. The first one is where I totally forget about a scheduled flight until about an hour after it is supposed to leave and the second nightmare is losing my logbook. As a pilot, I have two recurring nightmares. Sorry to hear about your logbook, that stinks. What should I do ? Both of my instructors are still in my area, can they help? 30 to 35 hours in student training in the air, either with my instructors or by myself, Unfortunately I have lost my log book.

In previous years I have accumulated approx.
