If you have ever had an experience flying over water or in
the mountains with a high overcast, moonless night, there might be a
reported visibility from stations of 50 miles. Trust me, your maneuvering
soley by reference to your instruments, and every bit of it is loggable as
actual.


Even if you are on a VFR flight plan and are not instrument rated?

Absolutely! How else would you get the instrument time needed to obtain
the rating?

What sort of flight plan or even flight rules the operation is conducted under
has never made a difference in logging.

The one bizarre twist is that the FAA even allows you to log instruments while
operating VFR. It can be legal VFR and be bad enough to have to fly by
instruments. The FAA allows this to count.
