Narrative:

On saturday I contacted company crew scheduling, via phone, and advised that I could possibly exceed the 30 hours in 7 day limit on monday. The dispatcher checked his records and concluded that in fact I would be legal by at least 1 hour. He then agreed to keep track of the situation until the period in question had passed. Having returned from tdy duty at rdu, I walked into crew scheduling to verify that I would not exceed the 30 hour limit the following day. While reviewing my previous week's flying record with the dispatcher, we discovered that a trip of approximately 2 hours was missing from his records. After correcting the error it was concluded that I had flown 30 hours and 52 mins.
