First of all, I agree that it seems pointless for CJ to put that kind of
entry into his log book. He opines that it counts for total time even if
none of it was PIC or instruction -- he thinks of it as "flight experience."
Having ER 'sign' the entry was more of a momento.

Sorry, Barry, you either misread the original post or got confused by Jose's
response. CJ was a passenger. ER was the helo pilot.

Pete, the thing about the signature on each page comes from looking at my
log book. At the bottom of the left page is a block that reads (quoting):

"I certify that the statements made by me on this form are true.
Pilot's Signature______________________________"

Now, I can't find anything in the FARs 61.51 or 61.59 to require that
signature, but nonetheless the space is provided for it in my log.
