I certainly wouldn't log anything as PUT without a signature to say that the training had indeed been carried out.
NOt required and you have no right to ask for any signature for routine training except for any training flight you specifically wish to use as part of your SEP Class Rating revalidation requirements.
The FI will be PIC on any training flight, unless he/she is flying as a passenger with another pilot operating as PIC. Irrespective of any signature.
No right to ask for a signature? That has to be one of the most arrogant things I have seen you write for a long time.
As an Instructor if someone pays for my time for Instruction I think they have every right to ask that I sign the logbook as proof that the Instruction took place. If they then want to use that flight later for revalidation then they are perfectly at liberty to do so.
Is it little wonder that pilots prefer to go to independent Instructors for training rather than schools if this is the dogmatic and arrogant approach they face by school instructors.
