    do you mean they are loose? Tie them down so they are not loose anymore.

    If you lose your License and logbook, I would contact the issuing authority of the license and explain. Valley R

    i would think reporting it to the police! that would be great starting to fly those airplanes again! I love it when I ride in the airplanes! To me the sky is like a escape from everything else in the world, like heaven! As soon as I’m in the sky, I would look out of the window lol. Kelli

    731. LOST LOGBOOKS OR FLIGHT RECORDS.
    Inspectors should advise airmen that they may reconstruct
    lost logbooks or flight records by providing a
    signed statement of previous flight time.
    A. Proof of Experience. Airmen may use the following
    items to substantiate flight time and experience:
    9/30/92 8400.10 CHG 7
    Par. 729 5-621
    • Aircraft logbooks
    • Receipts for aircraft rentals
    • Operator records
    • Copies of airman medical files
    • Copies of FAA Form 8710-1, “Airman Certificate
    and/or Rating Application”
    B. Obtaining File Copies. Airmen who have lost
    their logbooks or flight records may request copies of
    their files from the FAA by writing to the following:
    FAA Airmen Certification Branch, AVN-46
    P. O. Box 25082
    Oklahoma City, OK 73125
    FAA, Aeromedical Certification Branch
    P. O. Box 25082
    Oklahoma City, OK 73125
    NOTE: Inspectors should encourage pilots to
    complete the flight time sections of official record
    forms, even though it would not be required for
    that specific certificate. These records document a baron_von_party

    I haven’t flown in ages, but have at least six photocopies of all pages of my logbook stored in separate locations. Just in case! ;) bostonianinmo

    I feel your pain- I had the same thing happen- my logbook contained 12 years of flying history and my instrument/taildragger and commercial rating training in it.

    I contacted the FAA and had a new license reissued. Then I have been contacting my instructors to verify my training essentials and sign-offs (they have to keep copies for a certain amount of time). The rest is reconstructing places and times. Hours can be verified from the FAA medicals (now we get copies).
    I have learned 1- never leave my flight case in my car or unsecured area 2- always make copies of logged time that is essential for ratings and currency. 3- make a copy of your license, medical and last BFR for safe keeping.

    Hope it all works out. My log book read like a diary, so it was like losing more than just a document. Good luck cavu_13

    As far as your actual certificates you can contact the FAA and get a new copy of your certificates. On the log book issues that is more difficult, you can try to recreate your hours in a new book, but really you can not replace that logbook to prove your hours. I would suggest that next time you make a copy of the book and keep in a safe place – in aviation your logbook is everything! Private_Jet_Charter
