Missing Civilian Logbook

[mr.mom]

I'm a military pilot with over 2500 hours of military fixed wing experience. I also have 200+ hours of light civ time (172) that I would like to put in my apps. Problem is that I lost my civilian logbook in my last move from overseas.
When I start my new civilian logbook what do I put in the front that indicates how many hours that I had? Is there a specific FAA requirement?
What looks the best.
I want it to be somewhat professional since I might have to present it during an interview.

Make one entry. Civilian time- C172. Let it go at that. Note as Lost Logbook. IF anybody down the road ask about it, then explain.

if any of the time was on an 8710 form than get a copy of your last 8710 and keep it with the logbook.

Agreed. I had a student once that lost his logbook. He got a copy of his last 8710 from the FAA. He also made one entry in his logbook to recreate his time to the best of his knowledge and had the Long Beach FSDO make an entry in the logbook behind it. I don't remember what it said, but it was something to the effect of "I'm recreating my logbook to the best of my knowledge." It looked as if it was blessed by the Fuzz, and he got a job at Amflight about 2 months later. IF you rented the 172, the place where you rented it may have records also. Good luck

Don't forget the FAA medical form as a source of lost time. The blocks that you fill out with total and last 6 months on every app can be recovered and used as evidence of time since they're on a signed FAA document..

I had a flight instructor ask me one morning out of the blue:
"If your house was on fire right now, what's the only thing you should save?"
I said "My cat?"
He was like "No, dumb-a$$, your logbooks!"
I'll never forget that.

That's why you buy a fire-proof safe and put all those important documents in there.
