Logging instrument time
Just wondering how everyone else logs instrument time, since there seem to be different interpretations of "manipulated the controls by sole reference to instruments". Does twiddling the heading select knob on autopilot over the Pacific qualify?
Same. Some log IFR flight, but that's most of your PF time and not what the description implies IMHO. As you only need to log IF time for initial licence and IR issue, it doesn't really matter on line anyway.

Take a stopwatch and click start every time you enter a cloud.
Press lap button on exit. Lap again on entering and so on.
This will give not only actual IR time, but accumulative IFR total time.
Then, find the biggest weather pattern, or storm cell. Head straight into it and disconnect autopilot on entry. That way you're guaranteed to get genuine hand flying in IR conditions.
I've tallied up about 317 that way over the last 15 years
Works a treat
