Logbooks for an interview

[cale42]

Ok heres my question.. I'm getting ready to hopefully start interviewing at the regionals soon(960TT) and in preparation for that I went through my logbooks looking for anomalies that may be an issue. The times all match up fairly well thankfully, but I have discovered two flights that are dual received and the instructor did not sign. One was during my private and one during my multi add on, meaning both times I was not in a position to be operating the airplane without an instructor, so it was required dual received not optional.

What are peoples thoughts on this, should I make a correction on my next page of totals and subtract out the total time, and star the flights as basically non-existent. Or do I leave them as part of totals and figure I can explain that they were flights that really did happen, just the instructor failed to sign them.

looking for input from people that have been through the interview process recently or ideally if there are folks on here that do some of the interviewing. I am happy to do either, just wondering which may be considered preferable.

thanks,cale

If you can find the instructor, get it signed. Otherwise, I wouldn't sweat it. Especially if it was a while back. If anyone asks you about it, just tell the truth; the instructor forgot, and you didn't catch it. No big deal.

While on the topic, now would be a PERFECT time to invest in an electronic logbook (I use logbook pro). It'll make your life MUCH easier later on down the road when applying for other jobs, and it helps keep your paper logbook in order. Do it now, while you're low time. Makes it much more time consuming when you have 3000 hours.

I keep a small "daily" logbook with me when I fly, and put the trip details in that. I then put the info into my computer logbook, and in my "official" logbook, I just put in monthly totals. I just interviewed at 2 places, and this posed no problems. The interviewer looked at my chickenscratch daily logbook, and just scanned my official logbook. Never even bothered with the electronic.
