a) Time above overcast or at night in Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC) is not counted as instrument flight;

I can find no reference to a requirement for a ‘visible horizon’
Vis isn’t an argument, you can see city / town lights for 50 nm.
I know what your saying, and I agree. It’s technically IMC with no moon. But is it legally IMC?
I think not and if thats the case, a) says you cant log it.
P.S. Compressor Stall: Can I have a better ref: for the CAR definition? You know how bad that book is to find stuff.
P.P.S: I'm doing my first solo cross country in a C150 above 3000ft on a moonless night. I can log that as I.F. in my log book?
