It’s extremely concerning how many hour builders about to embark on their CPL think they can log P2 or co-pilot time in their log books flying in an Single Pilot SEP. How stupid can you get? Look at this recent example:-

It would be good if school’s aircraft tech log data had to be uploaded to the CAA, and then random spot checks on flights could be done when people send their log books in for licence issuance, perhaps with an acceptable error tolerance of +/-5%. Although this has got me thinking, I've logged a 15 min “taxi” to the holding point, where I had to turn back due to an un-rectifiable 300/400rpm mag drop. I logged it as it was with the intention of flight, and a good experience, but should I cross it out?
