Logging of Instrument Flight Time open to faking
I am amazed that a reply in post #2 quoting the regs would stop this thread. The number of (presumably) licensed pilots saying "I don't know about the regs, but ..." astonishes me (for Australia - no one in the rest of the world reads the things ...)
The problem is Checkers is that the Regs are still the mish mash of rubbish they were before you guys headed off to the You Kaye. Nothing has changed really apart from they've succeeded in making the rules even more ambiguous where they could.
A sceptical person might wonder why CASA was so keen to introduce strict liability all those years ago when they realised they would never quite "get around" to getting the rule book too clearly written... Hence the differing interpretations of some as to what actually constitutes IF time...

The IF currency rules are quite a bit more complicated than they need to be. Secondly, they fail to distinguish between someone in an airline environment (including a cyclic recurrency program) and someone in a less structured role.
Hence we have pilots in GA who don't know the rules, although they should, and pilots in the airlines who are required to learn rules that do not contribute to safety in the context of that operation.
Your EASA currency rules, Checkers, are a model of simplicity. Pass an annual renewal with one precision and one non-precision approach, and go flying!*
Oktas "put me down for 0.2" 8
* Not quite that simple I know.

Checkboard it is not in the regs hence the disagreement. And the damn things change so often you have to 'qualify your statement with ' last time I looked'.
Australian pilots are probably more legally aware than other countries because of the appaling legal state of aviation regulation. Hence the myriad legal debates here on pprune which in other countries is a non event. This post being another one!

Seriously? I'm more interested in the price of a beer at the hotel or if the bog paper is 100 grit or 1000 grit...
My advice is to get out more
