A lot of crap comes out of the FAA's mouth that's a little hard to believe... logging that time is incidental to the activity... furthermore, you're not required to log the time and you'd have to be crazy to log it if there was any doubt. Furthermore, who's to say that you didnt get company approval if 5 years from now they're looking at it in an interview and ask about it?
