Welcome home.

I'm not sure what other government agency you have in mind, but for FAA purposes, nothing other than your logbook.

Remember that logging is something that you do in order to (1) show the authorities who licensed you that you meet certificate, rating and currency requirements and (2) show a prospective employer your record of qualification and/or experience for a job.

There is no "FAR 61.51 Foreign Appendix". The rules of logging for FAA purposes and its reliance on the honor system don't change when the flights are in a foreign country, even if the foreign country's rules are completely different.

But, just like we do when flying in the states, if you =do= have any backup documentation like receipts, manifests, etc, it's usually a good idea to keep them in case a question comes up.

As long as you have the log book correctly filled out, that is all you need.

Your logbook should be fine. I have had a couple foriegn students and their logbooks were fine and had more than the required information for a certificate/rating.

The only catch I ran into is one student from Argentina (sp?) logged cross country as airport-to-airport where here you need to log +50nm trips as cross country for a certificate.
From what I understand, most foriegn logbooks are more credible than american ones (ie. they match an airplane logbook hour-4-hour).
