OK, new question: I put my logbooks (25 years worth) into a spreadsheet
program, and turned up a few errors in the process; mostly due to
misreading my own handwriting. In some columns, the error is as much
as 10 hours. Most of the errors are in my favor. Interestingly, there's
not a single mistake in the total flight time column.

How can I correct my logbook? One way might be to simply put the
corrected values at the bottom of the page next time I total up, but
I worry about having to explain the discontinuity to the next
examiner who's good at math.

Or should I put an entry into the logbook that says "these values
correct for errors in previous pages."?

If you end up with an examiner who adds up all the columns in 23 years
worth of log books my suggestion is to find another examiner who is
sane, rational and lives in the real world...

With that said your last idea to "correct for errors" is probably the
best way to address this issue.. YMMV.

Don't they basically do that if you apply for an ATP?


Mine just asked me "Is all the required time there?" I said "yes", and that
was the end of that. And believe me, I spent a lot of time going over my
log making sure everything was correct. For an ATP, your log is checked at
the time of the written. I believe it's still that way.
