    You didn’t mention whether Commercial Pilot certificate was issued by the FAA or not.

    If it was, then there is a copy of your 8710-1 on file in Oklahoma City, OK. You can obtain a copy of this and use the times as the basis for reconstructing a logbook.

    If the Bangladesh authority will accept it, then all is well. If they don’t, then I don’t know what your next step might be. They might let you reconstruct the logbook based on receipts from the Philippine flight school, or maybe your flight instructor from the Philippines could look at his logbook and reconstruct entries for the flights he made with you.

    Again, hate to plug this, but the general solution to this problem is to keep your logbook electronically. We, the sponsors of AskACfi make a popular electronic logbook system called Safelog; it works on all major platforms and costs less than $2 per month when a reasonable length subscription is purchased. At Safelog, we really sympathize with people like Shah – an unfortunate number of people come to Safelog after suffering such loss or theft of their physical logbook. But we also suggest that his experience might be a warning to prudent pilots to get that vital career document which is their logbook into an electronic form. The cost is minimal and for most people will pay for itself many times over in security, convenience, and time saved (for example, Safelog automatically calculates FAA 8710-1 form values, checkride readiness, and much more).
