PIC - IFR- XC- sim instr. conditions
There is a FAA ruling floating around somewhere that you can log XC when you’ve passed either the IAF or the FAF without a landing.
No, it was asserted that the simulated instrument time I have already logged is "IFR". I do not believe that it was. I have no doubt that I could conduct future flights as IFR if I wished but that's not appropriate for the type of flying I do now.
