Hey Avbug!

Logging approaches

You don't need to be in instrument conditions at the FAF. You need to be flying by reference to instruments. This is an important distinction. Frequently an approach will be in visual conditions at the beginning, but may be descending into an obscuring layer, dust, smoke, fog, a black hole condition, etc. These may often be the most challenging of all. So long as the approach is conducted by reference to instruments, log it. How you determine that you've conducted it by referrence to instruments, is largely up to you.

(emphasis added)

Works for me. That's where I've been coming from all along. And, I think, that's where we've all been coming from.

Thanks, Avbug.

With all due respect Avbug, if it wasn't so open-ended and confusing, there wouldn't be so many long debates about it filled with uncertainty.

It may be cut and dry to you, but it's pbvious from this and other threads that it is not to others. (like soooo many other regs)

Just a thought.
