Still looking for a reference regarding (in)ability to log IF time in a NVFR operation. My personal thought was in line with CS, but it appears others disagree. What I'm hoping for is to (re)discover a regulation that applies.
I logged IF during NVFR once, and was told by CP "you can't do that..." and from memory shown a CAR or similar that dealt with it - never could find it again.
Let me get this straight -
(1) one night I depart, with details filed IFR, into the inky black, and log IF.
(2) the next night I leave for the same flight (wx permitting ie no cloud good vis), having lodged only SARTIME details, say nothing to centre, depart INTO THE SAME CONDITIONS, IN THE SAME A/C, USING THE SAME TECHNIQUES, and it is forbidden to log IF?
On both occasions (for a certain period anyway), are you not handling WRT INSTRUMENTS ALONE, as you establish climb, reconfigure, turn to intercept, then intercept track and establish enroute climb?
CR is confused...
Not for the first time!
The whole NVFR thing is a bit sketchy eh...
