haha NVFR not N V M C I can just see it now "OH damn, sorry boys cant go flying there's NO cloud, its VMC."

Here's another one. What about thick smoke. I remember flying in smoke so thick at 4000 I had could only see the ground below. Its not cloud...

What about when you're in between 3+ layers of cloud. Cloud below above and to the sides. You're technically "IN" Cloud...

For your info I didnt log either as IF but thats me.

Quite often I find myself Flying in the middle of nowhere late at night and have to flick the lights on to check if I'm in IMC. Sometimes I am, sometimes I'm not. I split the difference.

I log IMC whenever I cant see anything, anywhere. Most of the time you've got stars but sometimes there is a layer above, as far as I'm concerned I could be in a thin layer with no precip, thats IMC.

I dont understand though, I'm logging at least 5 hours a month. Not many approaches now though
