Well, Chilli Monster, Miserlou is absolutely correct. Because unfortunately, JAA Eurocratic lunacy requires flights conducted under IFR rather than 'flown with sole reference to instruments' to be recorded:
"Details of all flights flown as a pilot shall be kept in a
reliable record in a logbook format acceptable to the
Authority (see IEM FCL 1.080/2.080).
Details of flights flown under JAR-OPS 1, may be
recorded in an acceptable computerised format
maintained by the operator. In this case an operator
shall make the records of all flights operated by the
pilot, including differences and familiarisation training,
available on request to the flight crew member
concerned.
Required information
The record shall contain the following information:
1. Personal details:
a. Name and address of the holder;
b. Particulars of each flight during which the
holder of the logbook acted as either a
member of the flight crew of an aircraft or for
the purpose of qualifying for the grant or
renewal of a licence under the Air Navigation
Order.
2. For each flight:
a. Name of Pilot-in-command.
b. Date (day, month, year) of flight.
c. Place and time of departure and arrival (times
(UTC) to be block time).
d. Type (aeroplane make, model and variant)
and registration of aeroplane.
e. SE, ME.
f. Total time of flight.
g. Accumulated total time of flight.
3. Operational conditions:
a. Night
b. IFR
4. Particulars of any test or examination undertaken whilst in flight.
So, in theory, if you comply with Instrument Flight Rules when in VMC, then that time must be recorded, totally meaningless though it might be! The JAA doesn't seem to understand that flight under IFR outside RAS is perfectly legal in the UK!
