..As others have already stated, under FAA rules you can log instruments ONLY if you are flying in IMC conditions, or, under simulated instrument conditions (such as a view limiting device. hood f.ex during training)..If you are on an IFR flight plan, in VMC conditions, you cannot log that as instrument time in the US..Period..EU land is different..I have an ATPL from 3 continents (including US and EU) so have gone through these issues many times before..
..I believe the question about logging PIC time was already discussed..
