As discussed in an earlier thread, I'll soon be starting insulin, which will invalidate my current Class 3 medical certificate. I'll then enter a six-month waiting period before applying for a special issuance.
It's very clear that PIC privileges will cease with my first insulin dose. However, during the wait for a special issuance, I will want to maintain instrument currency, and general flight proficiency. So I'll be flying with friends and instructors quite a lot.
Can I log any flight time and/or count approaches toward currency in the following scenarios?
[1] Practice approaches flown under the hood in VMC, with an instrument-rated safety pilot (possibly CFI, not CFII) as PIC.
[2] Training approaches flown in IMC with a CFII as PIC. (Log as dual instruction?)
[3] General cross-country flights in VMC with a fellow pilot as PIC, of which I fly a significant portion.
[4] Actual IMC/IFR flights with a fellow instrument-rated pilot as PIC, of which I fly a significant portion.
Obviously it will be important to get a PIC signature in my logbook for any of these.
Thanks ...
