- If continuing for a commercial...61.125 says, "...must have logged ground
- instruction from an authorized instructor, or...".
-
- BTW 61.189 says "...flight instructor SHALL sign the logbook of each
- person...FLIGHT or GROUND instruction...". This means NO DECISION, it must
- be done! This is often overlooked by many instructors. A student is often
- asked "Do you want me to sign your logbook?", without realizing he must.
- Sometimes the question is asked out of courtesy but most times, from
- ingorance. There is an "out", however...the reg does NOT say WHEN the
- logbook shall be signed...Immediately following a lesson, before a
- recommendation, before the 3 year record (CFI) expiration date, or
- whatever??
