It specifically states in 61.189 that a CFI must sign the logbook of each person to whom that instructor has given ground or flight training.
But I honestly haven't ever had ground logged. I used the Cessna multimedia training system for most ground on my private; but never logged ground for the Instrument or commercial. However on the CFI did log the ground. This got me to thinking why a CFI wouldn't take a few extra seconds and cover his ass by logging all ground. Also, you know for sure what you've gone over.
If you have a student whom you teach on a two-hour ground session going over W&B, then the dude overloads a plane and crashes. I’d think the few moments you spent logging the ground would save your tail in the event of a lawsuit.
So do you log all ground given?
