Logging time as a safety pilot
A common question that often comes up is how to log time while acting as a safety pilot for another pilot who is flying under the hood in simulated instrument conditions. First, in order to act as a safety pilot, you must possess at least a Private Pilot certificate, have a current third class medical, and have the appropriate category and class rating (ie: airplane single engine land).

Previously pilots would question whether they could log an instrument approach for currency if they broke out of IMC conditions while on different segments of an approach (ie: prior to the final approach fix). In a FAA InFO document, they clarify when you can actually log it for currency.
Here are some general guidelines from the document:
- "The pilot must be established on each required segment of the IAP to the minimum descent altitude (MDA) or decision altitude/decision height (DA/DH)" However, the missed approach segment is not required to be flown, although the FAA does recommend to practice flying the missed approach.
- If flying in simulated instrument conditions, you "must continue to MDA or DA/DH" under simulated instrument conditions.
- In actual instrument conditions, and you are still in actual conditions (IMC) when entering the final approach segment. If you transitioned to visual conditions prior to the final approach segment, you would not be able to log the approach for currency.
Amanda's First Solo Flight on 16th Birthday
Congratulations to Amanda on her first solo flight on her 16th birthday in a Cessna 152 at Lincoln Regional Airport. Here's also a story ABC News 10 did on it on 8/29/16.
Lincoln Airport (KLHM) Flight Training
Learn to Fly at Lincoln Regional Airport (KLHM) in Lincoln, CA. Being a non-towered airport with light traffic makes it a great location to earn your Private Pilot's certificate.
Instrument training is also available if you are looking to add an instrument rating or just looking to do an Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC).
Please inquire for more information.
Instrument Training
Looking to get instrument rated or are you already instrument rated and need a safety pilot to help maintain your proficiency? Contact me for further details or questions. Photos below were taken flying an instrument approach into Sacramento Mather Airport in a Cessna 182 with an instrument student.
