Default Ammending logbooks

Absolutely right. I noticed you said logged, not tallied. It's interesting
about the CFI logging and often brought up at CFI refresher clinics. Do you
realize and the Instructor has no choice when he gives instruction to sign
your log? There's no vote! It is improper to ask "do you want me to sign
your log book", He must. One the other hand, there is no requirement for a
student to even have a log book (In many situations). There is also no
requirement to have a log book with you, so what's an instructor to do.
Well, when I run into the situation, I grab a scrap of paper, make the
notations and say "here, this is now part of your logbook". The only out
is, there is no TIME required to make the entry after instruction... today,
tomorrow and year from now... Anyhow, a small discontinuity in the regs.

Hmmm..

I thought the only *required CFI log* is the CFI's own log of dual
given (to be kept 3 years).

In the case of the student with no log book -- the CFI cannot
comply...?
