Yes, but you are again talking about the US.
The OP is in EASA land, where you log IFR everytime you fly according to the IFR rules, being IMC or VMC does not matter.
My initial response included the regulations, AS REQUESTED BY THE OP, with no knowledge of where he is.
So far, nobody else has posted any of the relevant EASE regulations, so simply consider all my posts as being based on US regulations.
Apparently I am not the only one who believes the OP is trying to justify padding his logbook with instrument (or "IFR") time without following the relevant regulations. Assuming that there is some relevant regulation about logging "IFR" time, his initial post is telling...
Can someone clarify can i log IFR time for example; on a normal vfr flight...
So, what is the EASA "IFR" requirement supposed to satisfy? Is there a minimum "IFR" requirement for a CPL or ATPL, or is there a minimum "IFR" time to maintain currency? If so, is that in place of, or in addition to, any "Instrument Time" requirement? Once more, please post an excerpt of the relevant regulations to aid our understanding!
