Or in the charter world you log wheels off wheels on times on your flight plan and add 0.1 for VFR or 0.3 for IFR per landing
What is the rationale for the difference between IFR and VFR. Is that in the Regs somewhere. Seems just another way of grabbing money from the customer.
Obviously you have never left the flying school!

The customer only ever pays the wheels off wheels on times or the Airswitch if fitted. You add the 0.1 & 0.3 per landing to the Airswitch/WO WO to get your pilot logbook times. Or you can record the off chocks on chocks which worse out a little more for your logbook.

Difference for VFR & IFR is IFR requires more stringent instrument checking and more radio work. The 0.1 & 0.3 cover the initial taxi and the landing taxi.
