No Flame war here...

Fortunately, I came to a decision and I am sticking to it...Any flight time that could be deemed "questionable", was zero'd out and all other columns that were affected were corrected as well. I was just wondering if I needed further correction...I am satisfied with what I have done though...

[/ QUOTE ]I'll join the others in the line and initial being preferable to green out. There should be no question whatsoever about what you were doing.

But just a thought. No flame war intended either and I don't know exactly what you are planning to cross out. But despite the arguments that continue about them ad nauseum, more that 90% of the issues about what is proper to log and what is not have been settled for more than 20 years. If were crossing out a bunch of clearly legitimate entries I'd be concerned that it might raise questions about whether or not I understand the rules I am flying under.

I'd also be careful about over-correcting. Make sure that you don't remove some PIC time that you needed for certain certificates or ratings. For example, if you used safety pilot time logged as PIC toward the 8710 PIC totals for your commercial certificate, but now feel it's "questionable" watch out for invalidating your certificate it by removing it now (not to mention having a record that you "lied" to the FAA in the 8710).
