It drives me a little crazy that the Code of Federal Aviation Regulations is so vague on so many crucially important points.
Logging Instrument Approaches for Currency
Key Takeaways:
- FAA regulations are often vague on crucial points, requiring pilots to rely on specific legal interpretations from the agency rather than personal interpretations.
- For instrument currency, simulated approaches must be flown under the hood all the way to DA or MDH to count.
- Actual instrument approaches count if initiated in IMC and remaining in IMC until passing the Final Approach Fix.
- Regardless of actual or simulated conditions, all segments of the Instrument Approach Procedure (except the missed approach) must be flown for it to count towards currency.
