I'd at least show him a notebook to sign; hard to sign a computer. I just did my biennial flight review. I haven't entered anything in my 'real' pilot's log for at least 5 years, maybe more. My CFI (ex-FAA guy) doesn't care as long as I've got something logged somewhere showing I meet currency requirements. I've got a tiny spiral bound notebook in the plane I use for tracking fuel use, oil, etc. by entering flight times & fuel used, etc. He's fine with that. Charlie
