PPL revalidation flight - refusal to sign logbook
A friend at the flying club recently undertook a "training flight" (as defined in the regs) of one hour with an instructor, as required to revalidate a PPL where the holder meets the currency requirements. **Note - NOT the skill test which is required where currency reqiurements have not been met. The instructor was not entirely happy with the standard of flying and refused to sign the persons log book. Club discussion ensued. Our understanding is that the instructor must sign as he is simply confirming the training flight has been undertaken, and that he is not issuing a pass or fail. We believe his refusal has turned this into a test Naturally the CFI disagrees. Can anyone clarify.
