As evidenced by this thread, there is controversy as to what is loggable and
what is not.

To clarify the question is post solo, sole manipulator, & sole occupant
adequate to allow logging as pic?

There are many flight schools (Flight Safety for one) that do not allow any
pic time to be logged until the day of the checkride.

So, that begs another question, what is the thinking that justifies no
logging of pic time when dual is being logged, post solo, pre checkride??
