Hi Genius747
Well I too have done some private flying and never once had it stamped or signed.
However when you undertake training, your training provider will stamp hours correct and verified, for your training hours. You should also get a Course Completion Certificate, which the CAA do want to see.
Also I got my CPL 300NM XCountry stamed but in the back under endorsements.
I don't think you have anything to worry about, check your copy of Lasors, try
here Section A, Appendix 16
The only thing I could find that relates to having your logbook signed is this
Instruction time: A summary of all time logged by an applicant for a licence or rating as flight instruction, instrument flight instruction, instrument ground time, etc. shall be certified bythe appropriately rated and/or authorised instructor from whom it was received.
I had no problem when I had my fATPL Issued.
@v8ter where did you get your information?????
