Logging IFR time
Hi.
Just wondering what the correct way to log IFR time is. So you are always on an IFR flight plan flying appropriate SID's, Stars & Approaches in and out of IMC or fully visual whatever the day brings.
In the log book (NZ) there is an actual, simulated and ground column. Are you just supposed to have a guesstimate of the time spent in actual IMC which goes into the actual column and simulated + ground columns would typically be used for training, simulator, hood etc..
So one could fly on an IFR operation without actually logging much IFR time if not much time spent in actual?
Assume NZ CAA and FAA would have similar ideas on logging IFR?
Cheers.
