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'll assume you're a CFI, so I'll take your word for it. But consider this situation- you need 15hr dual for the IFR rating. Say you go do a 1hr instrument lesson, and the student changes it to 15 hours. Is that still ok?
My point is that yes, the sig may only be required to state that SOME instruction was given, but unless the numbers are right, the signature is meaningless. The CFI may as well not sign. How would one determine if a student got 1 minute of instruction, or 1 hour.
I'm not a CFI (or even a CPL yet), but I have to disagree with your interpretation of the law.
