Id just one line entry each of your mil types with a single line entry for each.

I see no issue, since you got the old logbook back. You may even want to attach a copy of the police report, though I really don't think it's a big deal. I had my both my logbooks stolen, along with a rental car, clothes on an interview trip I had a a number of years ago. I was very lucky that I had made an Excel logbook program and had that on my hard drive at home. Still the Excel log didn't contain my first ~225hrs. I was able to partially reconstruct those time from my FAA records. I now only keep a electronic log book. I have about 5 back-ups, CD-Rom, memory sticks and on two separate computers. I keep one memory stick in a safety deposit box. I do keep a paper logbook also, updating it once a month by printing a new page. I've been on a couple interviews so far and have yet to be even questioned about my original logbooks. I have been complemented on the layout and neatness of my current logbook. BTW - I now use Safelog instead of Excel, very happy with it.

So far I have been offered a job at each place I have interviewed with.

I went to my interview with a stack of the little red pocket logs. Interviewer didn't even blink an eye. I think you newbies make way too big a deal over how your logbooks look.

LOL...my ONLY logbook was destroyed in Katrina.
FSDO said to just sign and date a statement in my logbook to that effect and to put single line entries in my logbook for each major type of acft flown and to shave 5-10% off the hours to be safe.

FWIW...thats exactly what I did and the RAH interview capt didnt even question my times.... result...late NOV class date.

course.... there is 1800 hours of military time there and another 950 in 121 time....

Check out www.forpilots.com for a nearly free electronic logbook. It has a few MINOR flaws, but I think it works pretty good. Basically an excel spreadsheet, but the guy put in alot of time and effort to cover everything that a logbook needs. I used it for a few months before I broke down and bought Logbook Pro.

Damn...all I got is a book with some pen scratchings in it. I got real motivated once to convert it all to electronic and about 10 entries later I gave up.

I have been using an electronic logbook for some time now and absolutely love it. I took it to interviews, and to job fairs, and have heard nothing but good responses about it. The important thing is to leave nothing to doubt. When there is any doubt, then your character comes into question. Document everything correctly, and err to the conservative.
