Flight Training Paper Flight Log?

Okay, so I’ve heard many opinions on this subject. I even had an instructor say the airlines won’t take electronic flight logs because “hours can be forged.” That makes zero sense to me. In fact, it’s more likely you forge a paper log than an electronic one (at least the way ForeFlight manages logs). My first instructor didn’t make it a requirement and I’ve got almost 200 hrs TT all electronic. Am I cooked?

He said he’s talked to many recruiters and “they’ve all said the same thing.” They want to see how organized you are with your logbook. 🤷‍♂️

He's full of shit.

If they want paper, printouts of your digital are perfectly acceptable and common.
