Excellent point Hillerbee, as I agree that the time shouldn't be logged since no instruction is taking place. However, I think TC asking "questions like these" is professional. He wasn't sure about something and asked other professionals in an aviation forum. Seems like a valid approach, and beats the hell out of logging the time w/o even asking. And he's raised the subject so that others here (including dolts like me) can learn alongside him.
