Why not?? If you don't meet the VMC criteria, you are not in VMC, and it is a lot more than visibility. Just because you cab see 50nm doesn't mean you make the separation from cloud criteria to qualify as being in VMC conditions.
Exactly.
It's the lack of understanding of the IMC definition that something I notice frequently, hence my question. Many people think of IMC as in cloud only.
If there is one Cu in the sky and you are cruising around it at 6000 feet but nice and close as we all love to do you are IMC, even though you can see 100nm.
