I have one, and indeed most aircraft do - but I believe it's not an obligation?
There is an obligation for the servicing intervals, prop, engine etc., but noting each and every flight?
I had a US registered aircraft and there was no requirement to put every flight in the aircraft logbook. Just an annual summary of hours flow.
AIUI the UK requires all flights to be entered in the logbook.
It is eminently sensible to keep a log of all flights as I found out when the Drawback people came to see me! There was no problem at all but the guy did say there would have been one had I not got a set of log sheets. No proof of flight....etc...
