Can a safety pilot log X-CTY time?

[AC560]

The main difference in all the rulings is they involve how to log time under 61.51. You do not actually log cross country time per say you count certain PIC time as described under 61.1 as cross country time for various certificate/ratings. So looking at the condition of flight rulings really aren't comparable to what hours can be counted as cross country.

Additionally, I teach zero-zero take-offs, with the pilot under the hood from 'brakes off', and I teach flying the glideslope to touchdown. I personally want to be able to land in zero zero if it becomes necessary, and I teach this emergency skill to all my instrument students. Of course, I'm a CFI and can log all the time anyway, but everyone should not think that all training is PTS-minimum-oriented. Some pilots are actually training to a higher standard.

That zero-zero landing... I've done one under the hood with a CFII, but I've always wondered, does every ILS glideslope continue to the touchdown point, or is it possible for the glideslope to intersect the ground other than on the runway? I'm particularly thinking about ILS glideslopes that are not coincident with the VASI/PAPI. Or when you occasionally you see notes like "Autopilot coupled apporach not authorized below 500 feet MSL" (ILS 11, PAKN).

I imagine the specification is in the standards for developing an approach, but I'm not well versed in that.

Every one that I have ever flown. AFIK every glideslope has to cross the runway threshold above a certain number of feet. I've never been at DH and not been in a position to land straight away.
