In the US, IFR
time is logged when you are in "Actual" or "IMC" not just because you are on an IFR Flight Plan.
Landings are counted and labeled (in some companies) as Visual, Non-Precision and Precision. You can log a precision approach without any Actual Instrument Time.
Every time I apply to a job, everyone wants something different. Just when I thought the nifty columns in the log book was sufficient someone comes along with a different twist.
Even after converting to a computer based log book I thought that I could answer any question possibly thrown my way. Surprise!
I can quickly pull out how much time in each type of aircraft but now companies want to know how much time in that type in each company worked for, @&%!"?#.
Companies now seem to pride themselves on asking questions that they know you cant possibly know. How many hours in a C172 with yellow hub caps?
