I believe the requirement for logging the time is conditional upon the
following phrase. "...maneuvering the aircraft solely by reference to instruments..." If you have ever had an experience flying over water or in the mountains with a high overcast, moonless night, there might be a reported visibility from stations of 50 miles. Trust me, your maneuvering soley by reference to your instruments, and every bit of it is loggable as actual. "Peter R." wrote in message ...

You could fly an approach with visibility of, say, 0.5 sm (and therefore be solidly in IMC), and still see be able to the ground the whole time. But you wouldn't necessarily be using that view to aviate or navigate. I agree. Last week I was practicing approaches in moderate lake effect snow where the RVR fluctuated between 1800 and 5000, yet I could see the ground directly below the aircraft. Not sure how seeing the ground below is relevant to logging an approach, unless, of course, I am flying in that direction. -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |
