And by looking at my logbook how would anyone know I violated the 8/24? There are no times written down.
They wouldn't, and they wouldn't be looking for it, and they would never care... until something happens and an insurance company is on the hook for a million plus payout. Then the statements made in depositions and examinations of evidence (logs) may bring a point to light that can be exploited into a denial of claim. Then you will have to swear out the exact schedule under cross examination at a deposition.
The FAA exists in order to give the insurance actuaries a stable platform of known and acceptable losses to base profitable returns from their premium base. Without insurability, aviation as an industry is impossible, it is the most important factor in a system that relies on Strict Liability for stability and minimized legal actions. GA does not have Strict Liability.
As long as you don't hurt anyone, or the people who got trained don't hurt anyone, there is no chance it comes to light.
