Key Takeaways:

  • Logging Instrument Approach Procedures (IAPs) requires specific flight segments (e.g., IAF to MDA/DA/DH for simulated approaches) and does not necessitate meeting ceiling minimums or flying a missed approach; actual or simulated IMC must also be logged.
  • Safety pilots must be instrument current and rated in the aircraft, even when operating under BasicMed (though they cannot be PIC in this scenario). Both pilots can log flight time, but the safety pilot is not required to sign the other pilot's logbook.
  • When using Aviation Training Devices (ATDs) for instrument currency, it's crucial to check their Letter of Authorization (LoA), and an instructor is generally not required for personal currency logging.
