CFI logging landings

mini, I hope it hasn't been more than 90 days since you've done at least 3 if you're doing primary training.

Is there anyone here who has made it beyond CFI that has had logged landings come up as an issue in an interview or during a hiring process?

Yes I have made it past the CFI and I have had many interviews and no it has never come up. Nevertheless just because those interviewers didn't catch it doesn't make it correct. Remember you can log anything that you want, you only need to show currency or proper flight experience for a rating. Just think about it, as an instructor you log the flight time and it is understood that you may or may not ever touch the controls. I can prove currency with my landings in my logbook and the student records I log for my own reasons (curiousity).

Nope...logbook pro keeps me well on top of that.

It'd been a few weeks since I had done any and that was a trip for dinner...so...still hangin in there. Got a student almost at the point where I can start doing "best landing wins a coke" contests...that should be fun.

for what it's worth i log every landing. i know when my currency is up i keep track of it in other tabulations in my records. and when my time is up to get current, i do so. we have had 8 instructors depart in the last 2 months and it has never been a problem with logging landings, primarily with students.

Who cares...I logged every landing as a CFI and now I log every landing as a Captain on an RJ. That is sort of like wondering if Southwest is going to care how carefully I logged my IMC time over the past 6 years of flying at my airline. In the same vein, who cares...in 6 years of line flying, I'm sure they understood that I was bound to bump into some clouds and low vis along the way.

this thread has to been the most wasted time that i've wasted today, no 3 hrs of playstation 2 is not in my opinion wasting time, however this thread is. Duke is right, who gives a fargin sh*t about logging landings
