-can anyone confirm that?
-more importantly, does anyone know how I can get my records (if it is recorded somewhere)
I was reading some of the other post and logbook came up and there was a mention of OKC?
-What is OKC?
-Is that sort of record keeping for established pilots or could I retrieve my hours through them?
Thank you and safe landing to everyone.
Without proof you have zero hours but if you found your logbook you would save a TON of cash. Flight training never expires with the exception of solo endorsements.
OKC is Oklahoma City where the main FAA offices are. They keep no record of your flight time or training records. Your only recourse is in how you did your training. If you flew at a part 141 school then they will probably still have your records on file. If you don't know what a part 141 school is then you probably didn't fly at one. In that case, your two options are to start over or find that logbook.
I suppose you could contact your old instructors and piece the logbook back together from their logs. If a student of mine contacted me in that situation I would not hesitate to sign them off most ricky-tick.
