Good day (evening) all!
I took a break from flying for about 8 years. Have gotten back into it and have gone through and got my endorsements and am enjoying flying solo again. One issue however is that during that down time, I moved states and in that process my bag with my headset and logbook are gone
I can prove my pilots license and instrument rating of course and I was able to get the medical all set but my next step is to work on my commercial, and possibly the CFI at the end of the year.
Hindsite 20/20 and I should have a)not lost my logbook or b)may photocopies of the pages as I went along. The good news is that my wife is much smarter than I am and kept every single one of the receipts from the FBO where I got instruction and rented the airplane. Probably to remind me how much I was spending... But that I think helps a lot since it has number of hours marked on each receipt. So I believe I can use that. But the problem with that is that it doesn't list the departure and arrival airports which matters for the commercial. I know I have enough based on the receipts and knowing where I went, but they aren't formally in a logbook.
Someone mentioned to me that IACRA keeps track of that when you do a flight test? If so then I'm probably much better off since I only flew a few more months after I got my Instrument Rating. So if they recorded the numbers for that then I might be ok.
Anyone ever run into this or know someone that did?
Thanks!
