Has anyone answered the question yet as to whether the pages of the electronic logbook need to be signed? My question is if I have the originals present - all I'm presenting is a easier to read version.

Don't care or don't pay attention to detail - wow! That would be the impression?
I spent a lot of time and effort to put 22 years of flying into a computer database.
Absolutely it is representative of ME. That is why I took those civilian logbooks and military logbooks and printed them all out in a binder and made sure that everything was accurate.
I guess my question is on whether that has now become my **official** record - which is what would need to be signed.
So on your advice when I go back to sign the approx. 300 pages of my electronic logbook - do I need other signatures as well? In my military logbooks I have an authorized representative sign off the fiscal year totals.

Will employers care if a logbook has a decent amount of white-out? Mine does thanks to an instructor back in the day who made some errors in my book. I hate sounding like I am passing the buck, but that is how it happened. Everything is corrected and the numbers add up, it just doesn't look all that nice.

I don't use whiteout for old errors that have been carried over many pages...that gets too confusing. For those I make a corrective entry on the next available line, with today's date, an explanation in the remarks section.
