Then you are screwed my friend...CYA is the key to flight instructing
PM me for any details...I am reaaaaaaly nitpicky with log books...
Yes, this was the basis for a successful lawsuit brought by the family of a dead pilot. They successfully argued before 12 of our "peers" that the pilot in question was taught to stall aircraft during the course of his training, but was never taught to recover from those stalls...
Before signing off for solo or checkride, review the part 61 requirements for BOTH ground AND flight training, and make sure that each and every item listed in 61 is documented in the logbook. Don't forget to log an appropriate and reasonable number of ground training hours for the topics required.
You do not necessarily have to write a novel in the student's logbook every time you do ground training, the easy way is when you do solo or checkride prep make a entry for ground training covering all of the required 61 ground items. You will be covering it in review anyway. I had my ground review sessions in MS word, so I could print and paste into the logbook so I didn't have to write out all that crappola.
