Even with the change to "autopilot input" I still only log hand flying - just short of 600 IF for just short of 9000 TT, so I guess I fit that "5-10%" nicely. Quite frankly, I reckon the logbook is for me first, employers second, so I want it to be a real reflection of what I've done....

In another life a long time ago I didn't even log IF for NGT/IMC auto TFR... knew some who did. They might claim manual flying(using FD and TF scope), but if it was more than the tiniest fraction to coax your way thru XXH precip, you'd have to question their sense of mortality and hence suitability to be in command of any kind of aircraft.



Suggest that the hybrid human/horse relax about it all - as ex-C&T aeromed I can assure you that if they're telling porky pies about the IF experience it tends to show during the line training. To the correspondants proclaiming the difficulty of the aeromed task I say:

"Thou art not wrong, sport!"

Stay cool.
