What is required for a pilot's logbook?

• A. Appropriate Instructor Endorsements.
• B. Verification of medical status.
• C. Proof of citizenship.
• D. Record of airworthiness certificate.

Answer: (A)

Endorsements from an authorized instructor are what the pilot’s logbook must contain to authorize specific training privileges. These instructor endorsements document that the student has completed the required training and is officially approved to perform certain activities, such as solo flight, specific cross-country flights, or to undertake a practical test for a certificate or rating. Without the appropriate endorsements in the logbook, the pilot cannot legally exercise those privileges, even if time has been logged. The other items listed—verification of medical status, proof of citizenship, and an airworthiness certificate—are not entries that the logbook is used for. Medical status is shown on the medical certificate, citizenship matters are separate from the logbook, and the airworthiness certificate belongs to the aircraft, not the pilot’s logbook.
