What do I do if I loose my Pilots License and Logbook?

Question

I have a Commercial Pilots license and had Multi engine instrument Rating .
I had my car burglarized and got my logbook stolen.. I havent flown for 4 years and I am thinking of getting back into it. What all do i need to do to make sure I am ok and current.. Thanks

Answer 1

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!

Answer 2

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

that specific certificate. These records document a

Answer 8

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.

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.
