- 51 g(1) - A person log instrument time only for that flight time when the person operates the aircraft solely by reference to instruments under actual or simulated instrument flight conditions.
(2) - An authorized flight instructor may log instrument flight time when conduction instrument flight instruction in actual instrument conditions. - 51 g(3i-ii)(4) Location and type of each approach, safety pilot if required, flight simulator may be used by a person to log instrument time provided an authorized instructor is present during simulated flight.
