One area I’ve always been curious about from a logbook audit perspective is how airlines view instructor landing counts. I’ve seen CFIs handle this differently. Some log every landing made during dual instruction, regardless of the student’s certificate level. Others only count landings when instructing student pilots, but stop counting them once the student becomes a private pilot and can legally log PIC themselves—unless the instructor actually performs the landing. Is there any industry consensus on the most appropriate and defensible way for a CFI to log landings, particularly when preparing for airline applications and logbook reviews? Additionally, is there an expectation that a flight logbook entry should generally include at least one takeoff and one landing? For example, would it raise questions during an audit if an entry showed flight time but no corresponding takeoff or landing, or are there common scenarios where that would be perfectly normal?
