Private Pilot – Two Logbooks – US and Foreign
Asked by: Anthony Fay 3905 views FAA Regulations, Private Pilot
I'm a US citizen, private pilot in Hong Kong and recently passed my FAA private pilot checkride. I live in HK and do most of my flying in Hong Kong on HK-registered aircraft. I decided to get a stand alone FAA private pilot certificate from scratch for ease of flying when I have occassion to be in the US and fly N-reg aircraft. I recorded flight time for my FAA practical on a separate logbook so that the required aeronautical experience is clear. Going forward, I was planning to record all HK flight time on my HK logbook and US flight time in the US logbook but I am starting to think if there's an advantage to record everything including HK flight hours on HK registered aircraft in the US logbook. I want to pursue advanced ratings/certificates in the US in the future. In such case, is there any value to recording my HK flight time on my US logbook going forward? Would flight time in HK on HK registered aircraft as a FAA private pilot count towards future US ratings/certificates? Many thanks for any insights.
