[logshare.com] this is what about 5 hours gets you

Be glad you only have 150 TT... I tried to start mine at 500TT and needless to say, I pretty much gave up on that.
 
I mainly did this for when I fill out 8710s, because I got tired of basically doing this everytime I had to fill one out. Hopefully this will make checkride times easier.
 
How do people verify these hours? What would keep a dishonest person from copying a bunch of these entries into his/her own logbook and using it for future employment? How do employees verify them and what kind of consequences occur if a person makes fraudulent lobook entries?

eh? There's nothing that keeps people from making stuff up on logshare. I don't see why anyone would even care if they did. I'm sure there's some flight simmer on there that's logged 4000 hours of trans-pacific 747 time.

It's by no means a replacement for a pen and paper logbook. At my employer, during the intreview, you would be asked fairly in-depth systems questions about the aircraft you had logged time in. You'd be asked to describe aircraft systems from the ground up.
 
Logbook audits are not real common unless you've had an accident and the insurance company is doing its best to deny coverage. At which point they'll try to match up 8710s, aircraft maintenance logs, credit card receipts, cancelled checks, whatever they can find. For any rental aircraft, there's usually a paper trail to follow. For privately owned aircraft, it's much more difficult, but if you say you flew 500 hrs in a plane during a period that the plane had only one 100 hr inspection, well, that's a tad suspicious.
 
Alex, you DO realize you're gonna get creamed in any interview for all that time you spent riding shotgun with your mom, right? That much dual received is a huge red flag.
 
i had my entire e-log erased (along with everything else on my computer). had about 600hrs on it...aarrrgghhhh! now i back things up
 
I didn't really mean in logshare, but in real logbooks.

That's pretty interesting that anyone can just fabricate such information into their lobgooks. I guess it all depends on the person's honesty.
 
Yup, it does. But some chief pilots do this little trick: they'll fly with a prospective hire before ever looking at their logbook and make an estimate on how many hours the pilot has based on his flying skills. If the logbook total is much higher than that estimate, they don't get the job.

Possibly, but what if mom is the one doing the hiring? ;)

I'm not too worried.

Thanks for your concern,

Alex.
