Logbook being scrubbed at interview?

What do they look for in your logbook? What things could get you sent home?

The only thing I was questioned about during my interview was logged PIC time in a Conquest. It is less than 12,500# though and I only logged the legs I actually flew. They seemed satisfied with that answer. Just make sure your numbers add up.

Overall, just that it looks neat, clean, and orderly and that your time is on par with the experience in your resume.

If your logbook looks like crap, it may mean that you are not detail oriented and/or that you don't care enough to take pride in your work. Either way, it sends a pretty strong message that you don't take pride in your work and experience, which means that won't want to gamble with you in the cockpit.

The other big item is the quality of time. If you were a CFI, they would expect to see a fair amount of dual given. How about actual? If you flew in the west, how much actual did you get? If you have a lot, how did you get it? In other words, if you have more actual than you could have/should have accumulated. Also, if you have a lot of time that doesn't jive with your experience. If you just got your commercial multi and all of a sudden you have 200 hours PIC in a King Air, that smells bad. Either you are pencil whipping or you were "radio boy" and you logged time illegally.

Anyone who has an accurate, neat logbook has nothing to worry about. This is not meant to be a jab at you, but if you are really worried either you need to relax or you have something in your log that shouldn't be there.

In any case, do your best and good luck to you!
