Now, for the R-ATP guys, they are responsible for going to the FSDO to get the restriction removed from their certificate to make it a full fledged ATP. When going into the FSDO to do that, I'd imagine they would need to see a logbook. I'm not sure if they do or do not. Someone who's been through that process can chime in.
