Description

Affidavit for Logbook Discrepancies

We suggest that you be transparent about any unresolved logbook discrepancies. This affidavit can be printed, signed and included in your logbook. It puts the interviewer on notice about the discrepancy. By carefully explaining the situation, in advance and on paper, you may avoid in person questions.

Affidavit for Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Logbook

If a logbook was lost, stolen or destroyed, it is a good idea to draft an Affidavit to document the loss. Include this Affidavit with your logbooks presented at an interview. This document is in Word format and should be modified to suit your situation.

Bulk Entries (for adding carryover time from old logbooks) – Examples

If you are not transcribing each flight from your old logbooks, consider using the “bulk entry” method. This provides a cumulative logbook that is easier to review. We are providing a number of samples demonstrating how different pilots approached this problem.  You determine the amount of granularity to include. When preparing for an interview, consider the hiring company’s interests. At a bare minimum, separate PIC and SIC time.

Career Summary (Sample – Comprehensive)

This is an excellent example of a comprehensive summary. Generously contributed by one of our creative pilots using CrewLounge software, he generated each summary, then assembled them into a single file for printing and inclusion in his logbook. (If you are using another software program, it will likely have similar reports).

Career Summary (SWA)

This Flight Summary is a popular format for SWA interviews. It can be used in addition to other summary reports from your software program, or used by itself. Drop it under your Summaries tab in your logbook binder.

Certificate History Table

Display your flight certificates and endorsements in a neat, clean table format. Position it under a Certificates/Endorsements tab in your logbook binder, together with copies of those documents.
