Why does an instructor sign a logbook entry? Is it:
A) To certify the logbook entry is correct?
B) Or merely to certify that he/she gave the student instruction on that flight?
Again, keep in mind you cannot control what the pilot does with the logbook once it leaves your hands. |
I guess I'm missing the point. I'd say the answer is a combination of A & B. I would not endorse the logbook of a student unless I was satisfied that the "description of the training given, the length of the training lesson" required by 61.51(h)(2)(ii) was accurate. Are you saying that if the student wrote in his logbook for a session in a 172 "rolls and hammerhead stalls 300 ft above Jone's backyard weekend barbecue" you think you'd be required to sign it?
And I not sure what the ability of the student to falsify the entry after the fact has to do with what you sign at the time you sign it.
