Talking with a friend yesterday re currency. He said that you can count approaches made in VMC with out hood. I said no, you need hood and safety pilot. He said recent change made it ok in VMC without hood. Anyone heard of this? Chuck The FAA actually proposed that change, perhaps a decade or so ago, but it was scorned by pilots, and the proposal was withdrawn. I believe the FAA thinking was that practicing the procedures per se was the important thing, more so than simply demonstrating the elemental ability to fly an airplane by reference only to instruments. |
