I knew of a guy who started flying in 1980. The copyright date on his logbook was 1983. They asked if it was his original logbook, and he said "yes" (thinking they were asking if all the flight time was accurately portrayed).

They pointed out that it couldn't be his original logbook since the dates didn't match.

He tried to explain that he had transferred his flight time over from small books to a larger "master log"….but they thought they caught him lying, so it was over.

Don't give them any reason to think you aren't being totally honest.
