Dean, A previous post suggested that you will fly in an N Reg. If this is the case then you need another pilot when in VMC and under the hood. In IMC he will need an FAA IR and dual controls. If you want to book the time towards an FAA IR when under the hood then the other pilot should enter his license number in your log book. I am not sure this is really necessary but I have heard it asked for so just do it anyway.
If you are stuck for an FAA IR then I can always sit in with you.
