Lost logbook
Wondering how it works when you lose a logbook. I got my private in1998. I accumulated just under 200 hours between then and 2010 and started a new logbook. Around that time I also moved. Somehow in the move I lost my original book and my original paper license. It was all in a log case. Now that I’m building hours to join the regionals how does it work for my original 200 hours?

Really the best option would be get the latest copy of an 8710 you can. I believe you can get it from the faa by sending this form to:
FAA Airmen Certification Branch, AFS-760
P.O. Box 25082
Oklahoma City, OK 73125
Hopefully that has most of your hours. If not you’d have to find ways to supplement proof, such as aircraft logbooks, receipts, stuff along those lines that will actually prove you flew those hours.
Good Luck

Not trying to be a ********, but how does a logbook constitute "proof" ? Seems like anyone who is willing to lie about their experience can pencil whip a logbook page. Most interviewers can tell if your for real just by talking with you, they seldom ask to see a logbook.

I know I have that time. I’m just trying to avoid getting to an interview and them telling me I’m short on hours because I lost a logbook. That’s why I’m trying to find out now how it works. I’d hate to lose that time but it is what it is. I mean at least they’d have to give me 40 hours of it as that was obtaining my private. But instructing for the other 160 hours would set me back a few months.

Did you get your instrument before losing the logbook? If so the 8710 you submitted then will have record of hours that is usable.
But even so, a reconstructed logbook is acceptable. Doesn't have to be reconstructed in exquisite detail with corroborating evidence. As pointed out above, the whole thing runs on an honor system anyway.
