How to log IFR-night (JAR)?
Having been informed by the high command that "flying without a JAR-conform log book is like flying without licence" :
how am i supposed to log all those night hours, especially when the sector is during dusk/dawn? (and what is a licence anyway?
)

yeah...well...
actually i've heard of that 30-minutes-thing during the last ten years i've been in aviation. maybe i shoud've been more precise with my question:
flying in and out of night/day, do you guys really pay exact attention to the moment when the sun finally slips behind the horizon (+30 minutes) to EXACTLY divide a sector's time between day & night?
or do you just say: heck, i'll just take one third of whole flight time i make and call it NIGHT.
or what?

Personally I make my best estimate but as I don't need to count the hours towards any licence issue, I don't imagine I will get picked up on it!
