Well, the logbook column says "IFR" not "IMC". So if you fly under IFR, then you should be able to log IFR time because the according rules and procedures apply, whether in IMC or VMC. That's because you have an IFR-rating, not an IMC-rating. That's for the logbook. There may be other parties (local authorities, certain operators) being interested in IMC-times. And this might be a totally different story. Maybe you have to open up a new IMC-column in your logbook. Regards Thracian
