I am confused.
IF and IFR?
Errrrr.....one either flies by reference to instruments or by looking out the Windows. One is Visual Flight and the other is Instrument flight.
Whether you are VFR or IFR has nothing to do with what you log re IF or Visual.
Do you log VFR and VF?
If you fly IFR into uncontrolled airspace, all the time in Clear blue and 22 weather....do you cease logging IFR upon leaving Controlled Airspace as you cannot fly IFR in Uncontrolled Airspace can you?
How do you log IFR in a Sim? You are not in Controlled Airspace...as you never left the inside of a fecking building!
