Is a private pilot required to log all flight time?

A pilot must document and record (or, log, to put it simply) flight time that is used to meet the requirements for a certificate, rating, or flight review. This requirement is given in 14 CFR 61.51. Since §61.51 does not define what flight time actually is, we have to go back to §1.1 for that definition.
