Instrument training - FAR question

![Question](https://www.pprune.org/images/infopop/icons/icon5.gif)
I am working on my instrument rating in the US, and have 2 questions:
1) I understand that in order to log simulated instrument (hood) time, I need at least a PP in the right seat as safety. What about practice instrument approaches? The AIM (Chapter 4, paragraph 4-3-21) says nothing about requiring an instrument rating. But would this still be considered instrument training, and thereby require the safety?
2) If you can do the practice instrument approach as a non-instrument pilot, do you log simulated instrument time and the instrument approach?
Too many regulations for one man to remember at once!
Cheers...

The reg is not that complicated. If you want to log simulated instrument time you must control the a/c solely by reference to the instruments (wear a hood or foggles). To do this you must have an appropriately rated safety pilot (category/class).
You can go out and fly practice approaches on your own but if you are not wearing a hood then you can't log them as instrument time.
