Hope he didn't solo you or ever sign your logbook. But if
all he did was let you fly while he was in the plane, that
is legal.

Anyone can sign anybodys log book. Some people have passengers sign just so
they can look back to see who they have flown with. What's the big deal? I
see nothing to prevent a non CFI from instructing, indicating so in the
students log book and signing it. The times don't count toward any
instruction required for ratings but other than that what's the problem?

| Have fun!

Ask your local FAA Inspector... I see no problem with having
a passenger put their name in a book as a passenger, but by
law (FAR) only an authorized instructor may endorse (sign)
for instruction given.

Wrong. By *regulation* (FAR), only an authorized instructor may endorse for
instruction given *and used for the purpose of meeting the requirements of
the regulation (FAR)*.

Anyone can sign anything they want. Most things require a CFI if you want
the endorsement to be useful for the purpose of meeting the requirements of
the FARs, but that doesn't mean someone who isn't a CFI can't sign a
logbook.
