ROTORGUY

The friend does not need the time, he needs to take his written and do a little checkride prep before his checkride. He has his hour requirements and meets all requirements for the checkride. He owns a Cirrus with another gentleman, but uses it for work and hires myself or other commercial pilots to fly for him. He trains in a 172 when he wants to which is few and far between. His problem is he is more involved with work than with flying. Your concern is with weather or not he’s logging time. That has nothing to do with my apprehension towards taking a pollygraphy and the fact that my logs will not be 100% accurate. I’m not suggesting I’m adding 100’s of hour to my log book. I’m stating I know my logs are not 100% accurate. I logged tach time my first year flying in my partnership because that’s how we billed ourselves for use toward the TBO fund. Yes it was dumb and I was a brand new Pilot. Since then I’ve gotten my Instrument, and Commercial Ratings in Fixed Wing. I also earned my Private and Commercial Add on in Helicopters. I’m not a military pilot or a wealthy person. I’m a Veteran that had some help with my Instrument and Commercial thanks to the GI Bill. Everything else I’ve paid for out of my own pocket. I’m CONSIDERING applying for a position with customs to be an AIA. I currently work in law enforcement, and I’ve taken a poloygraph before. I can stay right where I’m at and will likely end up in Air Support one day. But if there was a chance I could fly rotors sooner for CBP I might look into that. I’m just trying to get some info on that. My question was simply do they ask you about yours hours or log books during the pollygraph. Don’t assume my questions means I’m trying to hind something or that I’m lieing about my hours. I simply logged time off the tach vs Hobbs for a year or more. That and I know I forgot to log a few flights along the way. Im sure those missed flights don’t add up to more than 5hrs. I’m sure some of you are perfect and your log book times are perfect down to the 0.1hrs, congrats. Mine are not. I fly enough between Commercial Flights in the Cirrus, and my own personal plane that I will have the required hours needed in a year or less. Again just looking into the AIA Pilot position and was looking for feedback from someone doing the job and that’s been through the process. If you can’t offer any specific insite about that please don’t reply.
