When you are hour building, you can take a safety pilot and practice IR flying, and also practice flying to CPL tolerances but as has been said, you cannot actually log any of this time as IF. If you can practice during your hour building time, then you will progress quicker on the CPL/IR courses meaning more chance of passing in min time, thus saving money - is that what you meant ?.
so how do i log this time? am i correct in saying that i am pic, dual time but cannot be logged for p1 hours towards the 100 required for the start of cpl?
I have been logging it as dual time as IIRC the instructor technically is the PIC, as in the event of an emergency then the Instructor would take control to deal with the situation.
