1.Is an Indian logbook required/recommended
not really, you can use your current logbook
2.What all counts as PIC time? I have 82 solo, around 180 PIC and around 165 dual. Now dual after PPL isn't considered PIC in India?
well your solo and pic comes under pic
dual done anytime is dual only, may you do that after ppl or cpl
One entire entry in my logbook has been struck out, and one column on another entry has been "whitened out". How much of a problem would these cause?
looks confusing but then do get the sign and stamp of the school near that entry and shouldnt create much problem
i have seen people whose every page of logbook have corrections and still got the licence with ease
but not too many correction please on one page
