I don't personally but I've seen a lot of guys dto it.

Do you get the Designated Pilot Examiner to sign your logbook after you've finished a checkride?

Like I said, I haven't to date but I wonder what difference it makes?
 
My private examiner didn't, my instrument examiner did...and so on, and so forth. There's nothing that says that (s)he has to, and it doesn't make a bit of difference. It's not dual, and you're the PIC. You certificate is proof enough.....
 
That's weird. All of the examiners in the Daytona area put their John Hancock's in your logbook. I thought it was a requirement like a dual received signature.

Not unless it's in some DPE-specific directive. I asked another guy I know about this, and he said he has yet to get an examiner to endorse his logbook.
Go figure!
 
The ones I used in Orlando area signed it also. I guess it could be used as a back up in case you lose your certficates or need some kinda proof. I just a guess though.
 
Most I have seen do, although they do forget from time to time. My PPL and AMEL rides I have sign offs for but my instrument ride didn't. As people have said, some do and some don't.
