Have you ever "made up" an approach to a nonexistent airport for the
purposes of training or currency? I mean, to pick a space in the
boonies, and then use nearby navaids to fashion a homemade approach to
an imaginary runway. Some instructors will do this.
I could see doing something like this during the early stages of instrument
training to get the student up to speed on the kinds of skills needed to
fly an approach without having to worry about reading a complex approach
plate and mixing it up with other traffic near an airport. But that's
about it.
Now, I was wondering, is there any way flying such an "approach" could
be loggable towards instrument currency?
Not in my book.
