My instructor claims that when you fly under the hood at night you can't
log it as night time, only as simulated instrument time. Is he right?
I can't find anything in the FARs to support his assertion.

I did my primary training 8 years ago so the rules on this may have changed
since. I did my 3 hours of night flight cross country with the 10 landings
all in one session and it included 1.5 hours of hood time.
That one flight was logged as:
10 landings
3.0 hours airplane SEL
3.0 hours Cross Country
3.0 hours Night
1.5 hours Simulated Instruments
3.0 hours Dual Received
The DE didn't have a problem with it when he went through my logbook.
