call the FSDO...it doesn't cost YOU any money (except as a taxpayer).
don't just trust some flying school...they just want your money.
there have been many LIES IN LOGBOOKS...I was PIC on an MU2...by regulation it does not require a second in command. However the owners wanted a second pilot just in case.
The acting copilot claimed he could log all the time as PIC because he held a multi engine instructor certifictate. He told me this and said he was giving me Dual instruction (mind you I had been to flight safety on the plane and he had not).
I told him he was not giving me dual and he could log SIC if he liked due to company requirements.
Of course he didn't change his logbook and he is a captain for american airlines now......just proves that lying can get you someplace. He had hundreds of hours in the MU2 and had NEVER landed the plane.
so...please just call FSDO and find out.
