Re: Log Book entries
Flying For Fun,
You can add insurance and good old safety to the reasons why you and I will be P1 when operating as an instructor doing any checkout.
Yes the pilot's licence may entitle them to fly any SEP. Yes they may have tons of experience over many years but;
They need a checkout before they can be pilot in command. The reason for the checkout does not matter. If they were entitled to fly as pilot in command then they would not need the training flight.
My solution recently to this problem is that I take the log book before the flight and then after flying I make the entry in the pilot's log book and sign it before handing it back. This means that I make them PUT and there has never been a discussion since.
Makes sure that one does not end up with principled people like BOSE recording the flight in error and causing me to draw a line through their entry before making a correct record of the flight.
