If you can't maintain level flight without reference to instruments,
because there is no discernible horizon for outside reference, you
are in actual instrument flight conditions.


How can that be? IFR conditions are weather conditions below the minimum
for flight under visual flight rules. You can easily have weather
conditions well above the minimum for flight under visual flight rules above
an undercast.
