Just passing on what I've been told. I'm guessing, but maybe a "trial lesson" is defined as being half an hour? In any case there is no problem logging the time, because I did - I just logged it as if it was PPL training (which it was, in effect).
Maybe this is another one of those questions like "do you need to pass Air Law to go solo?" . We've had that several times on the Private Flying forum, and nobody has ever given a definitive answer.... <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
All the best
