I started entering my old logbook data here (from 1978) and noticed that I had not logged my solo time as also PIC time. I don't know if this is simply due to an error on my or my instructor's part or if the regs were different back then. Anyone know of a source for part 61 as it existed in 1978? Does anyone know if this logging of PIC for student pilot solo flight was authorized then?

There was a time where pre-license solo time could not be logged as PIC
time. The rule changed, retroactively. You can go back and enter your
pre-license solo time as PIC time.

I don't have a reference handy however.
