I don't see the problem here with deciding how to log the time. Regardless of the morality of a flying club/school insisting on these 'check out' flights, you can be guaranteed that unless it's agreed up front the instructor will log P1 for his time. We are not talking about multi-crew aircraft, or flight test, or some strange integrated course, so that leaves only two possibilities. You log the time as P/UT or you don't log it. Why do so many people seem offended by the idea of logging P/UT?
