Instrument question
So we all know that part of maintaining instrument currency involves completing a minimum of 6 instrument approaches in the preceeding 6 months. My question relates to logging said approaches in accordance with regs.
Are you required to log that you flew 6 approachs and list where they were and what type of approach it was. (e.g. 2/2/02 IAD ILS 19R). Or is it legal to simply log it as a ILS approach executed on a specific day? (e.g. 2/2/02 ILS)
Thanks.

If its for currency, I would definitely list which approach it was in the remarks section (ILS 19R into KABC). Your already required to log the date and destination (if for currency).
I will look it up later, unless someone else knows specifically.
Just remember that to log an approach (especially for currency), it needs to either be in actual or simulated IFR. You cannot be cruising around VFR and decide to shoot an approach in and log it. (unless you have a saftey pilot and go simulated instrument)

It isn't too hard to knock out 6 approachs in actual up here in the northeast during the course of a normal airline schedule.

Ya, I use LogBook Pro. (absolutely love it btw). The reason I am asking is because I have only been keeping track of approaches by date, type, and location; been to lazy to enter the exact appraoch in the remarks section.
