How have you logged it in the past, as fake actual? You're flying by the gauges and you can ACTUALLY CRASH if you don't do it right than it's ACTUAL instrument time.

I wrote too fast. what I meant is:

If a PIC can log his/her copilot's actual time then there is a lot of actual I neveer logged
 
Your instrument time should be roughly 10% your total time. If you fly exclusively in Arizona then your time might be light. The interview folks are going to want to see the 10% or and explanation why it's off. (the Arizona pilot or flying in Mass for years and years.)

For instrument time I log all time that the plane is IMC weather I fly or not. That has put me right at the 10% rule.

For instrument approaches I log only the approaches I fly and only then if I'm IMC to the FAF. If I break out prior to the FAF it's a visual, if I break out after the FAF it's an approach.

I knew a knuckle head when I was a flight instructor that only logged the time that he was actually flying the plane. So when his student was flying he didn't log it! He was only logging .2 per flight. Needles to say his time didn't add up very fast and on top of that his students hated him cause he was always hitting them up for stick time. Total tool.

Instrument time is a little different as it's not nearly as important (once you have the mins) as total time. To complain that you're short instrument time and then not log the time the AP is on IMC or the other guy is flying seems to lack an overabundance of intelligence. (dumb)

Just get your log book to the 10% and move on.
 
If saviboy is right, you might just want to sit in the Sim for 30 hours. It would be a lot cheaper.

And if anyone cares, with that new information coming to light I can now qualify for the Min's if I use my Sim time.

(now I can sleep better)


Can't use sim time, only actual or simulated in flight.
