No insurance company i've ever worked with has ever asked for copies of my personal log. For that matter, none of them have asked for my aircraft's journey log either. But it's equally conceivable that any needed times could be reconstructed from the journey logs of the various aircraft i've flown.
How many $750k claims have you made? Insurance companies will take your money, and take everything you say on trust, until it suits them not to.
Good luck with proving your alleged 7,000+ hours from the journey logs of 45 aircraft, two of which were destroyed twelve years ago, and some of which have been sold to foreign jurisdictions. You’ll really be in the mood to trawl through logs from your hospital bed, won’t you? And then there are the owners who won’t respond to your letters to their registered addresses, and meanwhile the insurance still isn’t paying for your rehab, because they think you wildly overclaimed on your hours and you have not a shred of written evidence to back up your claim.
Realistic? I have no idea. Plausible? You decide.
I know a little drift but one can always question the accuracy of logbook entries if they are not checked and certified by a 3rd party when it comes to legal issues
One can. But a court can’t. In law, where a log is required to be kept then the contents are presumed to be both true and acceptable in evidence, unless there is specific evidence to the contrary. It becomes (for example) the insurance company’s job to trawl through logs to find the discrepancies with your logbook, if they want to dispute the information you provided when you took out the policy. Whose job would you rather it to be, to collect and trawl through logs of 45 aircraft? The insurers? Or yours?
DId you hear the one about the jurisprudence fetishist? He got off on a technicality.
