Lost log books

The flight school I work at has all the logbooks for their planes
stored in one room by the maintenance hangar. If that thing goes up in
flames, the planes are no less flyable.


I would hope someone was smart enough to buy a fire proof safe for that
room.
If they did go up in flames how would your student take their
checkride?

I have never seen a flight school keeping aircraft logbooks in a fireproof
safe. Usually these logbooks occupy several shelves in the maintenance office
and are much too large to put in any reasonable sort of safe.

Logbooks get lost, destroyed, or whatever, all of the time.

We kept the aircraft logs in the airplane. Shop records on
paper and computer where the back-up. Without the logbooks,
how do you do a proper pre-flight? Any school that locks
the logs away from the student or a renter acts as though
they something to hide.
