of course you can write in a log book what you want.... but you better put the times in the proper column! We're talking here about the times that can be recorded for revalidation and other required time.... not just for personal information like a diary. Actually, the log book is considered in some countries as an "official" document!
Up until introduction of JAR-FCL last year, it was not required for German PPL instructors to have a CPL. Even now new instructors only need the written CPL exam! I think whoever gets as far as passing the written goes on to get the whole thing... but it's not required here (yet). For the "old" instrutors the "Grandfather rights" let them continue instructing without a CPL ... and get paid for it!
