Mark, the point is my signature doesn't verify what is written in the logbook. According to part 61 instructors are (paraphrased) "required to sign the logbook of anyone they give instruction to". How can you control what the student writes in the logbook?

It's a good idea to write what you do in your own logbook for legal sake but I would think a good lawyer could punch holes in what's written in a student's logbook in a heartbeat.

I would relate an instructor's signature in a logbook to a notary public's signature. When they notarize a document, they aren't saying it's correct, just that the person who signed is really that person. Same idea.
