Some VFR flights do show up if you are getting flight following.
I cant imagine how useful using it would be, but I suppose a blatant wrongful entry could be caught.

Not really since I have waited 30 mins to depart before and all that taxi time is part of the block to block time.

I was thinking more along the lines of logging flights to different places or total falsification of entries. Not just an extra few tenths.

Re: Do employers use flightaware to verify flights in logboo
I just wasn't sure where to post it. No catch. Ive only applied for one job and I've been at it for over a year. I'm not sure how the hiring process really goes. A new super (that knows nothing about aviation) was hired at my place of employment and brought up the subject, so I figured Id post the question.

If your flights are VFR it really would nto matter. Flightaware only tracks IFR Fights for the most part.

Prison time and up to $250,000 in fines if you get caught. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

:yup:
Only if you include the time on an 8710. Otherwise, you're probably only committing insurance fraud.

Why is that funny?
I can understand your reaction toward the "BS" part of that comment, but so far as errors in the logbooks, I have read in numerous places about questions in interviews about if the applicant thinks his/her logbook is 100% correct.
Apparently the gist of the ensuing conversation at the interview is that most peoples' logbooks have some error, somewhere....that a 100% correct logbook, especially at the time/experience level that people are applying for Part 121 flying, is unrealistic. There is usually something missed somewhere.
Again, I think you are correct that 121 agencies don't assume that their applicants have falsified time in their books...but I think they DO assume that there will be little errors here and there.

Flightaware would be useless unless you're loogbook shows something like 60hrs of ME time in the past week. Flightaware only goes back 3 or 4 days I think.

I would almost hope they did, because there is a lot of BS in some logs.
How would it ever be possible to prove that, though?
