I'd agree. This pretty much follows the "FAAviation News" rule.

If you initiate an approach in IMC, it's loggable.

Once I pass the IAF, or receive the first approach vector, if I am
IMC, it gets logged.

The original question was: under what circumstances can an approach be
logged for the purposes of maintaining IFR currency? Obviously if
you're under the hood with a safety pilot or in hard IMC to minimums you
can log it, and if you're in VMC without a hood you can't. But where is
the line?


I'd log the approaches that were necessary to complete the flight. If
there's solid cloud at or below the MIA/MVA an approach is necessary to
reach the destination, even if the field is VMC.
