Instrument training - FAR question
I am working on my instrument rating in the US, and have 2 questions:
1) I understand that in order to log simulated instrument (hood) time, I need at least a PP in the right seat as safety. What about practice instrument approaches? The AIM (Chapter 4, paragraph 4-3-21) says nothing about requiring an instrument rating. But would this still be considered instrument training, and thereby require the safety?
2) If you can do the practice instrument approach as a non-instrument pilot, do you log simulated instrument time and the instrument approach?
Too many regulations for one man to remember at once!
Cheers...
