Narrative:
Encountered severe turbulence on takeoff. No damage to aircraft nor passenger or crew. The line mechanic, that met our arriving aircraft at the gate in dfw, made an unauthorized entry into the aircraft logbook that 'the captain gave him a verbal that we encountered severe turbulence in-flight.' this last problem was told to me by my chief pilot. Nowhere in our manuals are we required to enter into the aircraft logbook that the aircraft encountered severe turbulence.

Title: ACR PIC FAILS TO MAKE REQUIRED ENTRY INTO LOGBOOK REF INFLT ENCOUNTER WITH SEVERE TURB.
Narrative: ENCOUNTERED SEVERE TURB ON TKOF. NO DAMAGE TO ACFT NOR PAX OR CREW. THE LINE MECH, THAT MET OUR ARRIVING ACFT AT THE GATE IN DFW, MADE AN UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY INTO THE ACFT LOGBOOK THAT 'THE CAPT GAVE HIM A VERBAL THAT WE ENCOUNTERED SEVERE TURB INFLT.' THIS LAST PROB WAS TOLD TO ME BY MY CHIEF PLT. NOWHERE IN OUR MANUALS ARE WE REQUIRED TO ENTER INTO THE ACFT LOGBOOK THAT THE ACFT ENCOUNTERED SEVERE TURB.
