This worries me because I rarely log landings for myself and I give them all to my students, often even if I did perform the landing. Not sure how/why this habit got started, probably because I don't keep track of my own landings. When I fill out my logbook every payday, I just throw a landing in once in a while to satisfy the 90-day currency requirement. I know many instructors who also do that.
Have I been robbing myself of 135 XC time? Should I go back through my logbook and try my best to fix it by guessing? (There are plenty of empty spaces in the landings row for me to do that; is that shady?) It seems that a 135 employer would need to see a landing there to count it since it's defined that way. Did I just answer my own question? New to APC so I apologize if this has been covered. Help!
Your CFI time is either 61/141 and 91, not 135. Not an expert, but usually, you can only log time in accordance with the part you are operating under. So unless you are a 135 instructor then I would say that you none of your time and be counted as 135 XC.
