No such 25-hour tolerance. The only rules on what you put on the 8710-1 are that it must not be more than you have, and it must be at least what's required for the certificate/rating by the regulations. It is, however, to your advantage to make them as complete as possible in case your logbook is lost, as the FAA will accept anything previously documented that way. So, in this situation, since you've already documented meeting the requirements for the certificate/rating being tested, no change is needed.I do not remember where I know this from, so maybe someone could confirm this. But the numbers you put in IACRA can be +/- 25hrs, so assuming you flew for less than 25hrs it should be fine.
The limit between start and completion is only 60 days, not 90. 14 CFR 61.43(f)(1).Only thing I recall about updating information was if I waited more than 90 days between oral and practical, that I would be required to redo the oral .....no thanks on that
Correct as far as the FAA is concerned. But you may later, for reasons other than FAA certification, regret that choice.If those hours don't count towards a rating or currency requirements, don't log them. Nothing says you have to.
Correct as far as he FAA is concerned. But you may later, for reasons other than FAA certification, regret that choice.
For example, if you had tailwheel, complex, high performance, or high altitude aircraft time in the distant past and didn't log it because at the time it didn't count towards any rating or category requirements, you would unhappily have had to go out, hire a plane and instructor, and get those additional training endorsements (not certification or currency issues) because you did not meet the grandfathering clauses in those rules which you would have met had you logged the time. Ditto paying more for insurance because did not log time in various types which could have been used to meet time in type requirements for lower rates -- or even being unable to obtain insurance at any price without buying a lot of dual time in type.
Except that statement isn't true.Agree 100%, hence the comment about how from that fact (that FAA doesn't care what you log unless it is towards a licence)
You don't have to assume that, as it's written in FAA Orders 8900.1 and 8900.2, and anyway, it doesn't follow from your incorrect premise. But there are still good reasons (also written in 8900.1) to put all the 61.51-legal time you have on the 8710-1, and no reason in the world not to.we can assume, that FAA doesn't care if you have more hours than what you state on the 8710-1 form, as long as you meet the minimums.
