So here is the scenario, I'm getting my 8710 ready for my MEI checkride next Tuesday and I've decided that there are a lot of people out there with different opinions of what you should enter under "Solo" in section III. Record of Pilot Time on the 8710. I was taught all through my private days before I knew any better to think for myself that it was time while I was the sole occupant prior to my initial private checkride. But now my CFI signing me off for my MEI ride says my previous 8710's were wrong and my logbook column that was for PIC (incl solo) was a bad idea and I should keep a separate column for all time when you are the sole occupant. Because that's what FAR 61.51 says. Now I'm thinking I should maybe make the correction but now I'm reading some gouge on the FAA examiner I'm going with and one of the things he commented on a previous candidate was his "Solo" time logged. What are everyones thoughts on this or is it really too trivial to even worry about? I'm sure there are things I could spend my time doing before then that would serve me better than worrying.
