I am under the understanding this would not directly count towards the PPL? Which is why I am after a list of exersises so i can write them in the remarks section.
It doesn't count, directly or indirectly. Unless you are flying with an instructor, who will tell you what to log, you should not be logging any Exercise details in the remarks column. If you do, it could easily be misinterpreted as "Instruction for the purpose of obtaining a licence" when in reality, you are a "passenger". If you must log anything, enter "passenger"
