Couple logbook questions
Flying buddy and I were talking the other day and I wanted to get some other opinions. He works at a large flight school with there own Mx and they from time to time ask him to run the airplane after it is returned to service. Often, dependent upon the mx done, he sits in the run up area and runs it for 15-20 minutes with a mechanic in the plane. Is it okay to log this although there was never intent to fly? Just seems kind of desperate to me and I was curious if this is frowned upon at a 121 interview? Opinions are appreciated in advance

If it's just a run up, then it's not loggable. If he goes out with the intent to fly and subsequently returns to the ramp after a bad magneto check, then that time can be logged.

14 CFR 1.1
Flight time means:
(1) Pilot time that commences when an aircraft moves under its own power for the purpose of flight and ends when the aircraft comes to rest after landing
You can't land when you never left the ground.
