Stupid Question

It is also grounds to revoke all certificates held.

To the original poster:

I think you can see, from the responses, that there are too many really "bad
things" that can result from fudging your logbook. The possibility of being
caught is certainly not worth the possible gain that could result from
having more hours. Very few people would have a situation where just a few
hours would help, and fudging a lot is too obvious to get away with.

It is way too easy for someone to catch you. Also, one thing nobody
mentioned is, you write down the aircraft along with the hours in your
logbook. If it is a rental, or working hours, all you have to do is go back
to the airplane's records, and see if you are written down as having been
the pilot on the dates you said in your logbook.

It is something that I would never ever do myself. It was just one of those
things I never knew about. I don't have my PPL yet, but will be starting
sometime later this year, and just wondered how it was recorded.
Thanks.
