For I.R. pilots, what you are saying is correct,
Amos - they tend to focus ( I guess 85% +) on instruments regardless of whether outside is 8/8ths 9999 or not. However, there ARE visual cues in VFR conditions that are subconciously processed when one THINKS he is flying "solely" on instruments.
And therein seems to be the problem some contibutors to this thread are UNAWARE of, and which
B_C_L is
trying to correct.
It would appear,
Amos, that SOME pilots take LITERALLY that which you have posted, and log I.F. time from wheels up to wheels down even on sunny, cloudless, 50nm + vis. days (and nights). I'm sure that YOU aren't one of those,
Amos.
BTW, thanks for the explanation,
Bevan - that may explain the reason why some pilots seem to be grasping at straws to log instrument time.
Personally, I just fly with my eyes closed!
