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. What about simulator time at night? Can you log that as night time? rg |

I can't find anything in the FARs to support his assertion. He's wrong. Night / Day are independent of Instrument conditions. What about simulator time at night? Can you log that as night time? That's a different issue. I suspect that if it is a true SIMULATOR (i.e. one of those full motion jet types) you might be able to count it. However, a "training device" that we normally use for GA training wouldn't count for anything that "night time" logging would be useful and they don't really give a day/night presentation. Are you going to log it because you did your simulator work after sundown or because the clock on the simulator was set to midnight? |

Log day/night if you're in an airplane. Log simulator if you're in a simulator. Log hood/simulated instrument in an airplane. Jim, did you mean to say "Log actual/simulated" in an airplane? Bob Moore |

Was it at night?
I didn't see it, I was under the hood. Was it dark? Jose -- There are more ways to skin a cat than there are cats. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
