How many of you log specific minutes of a flight as instrument time when you
are flying in and out of clouds? (I count it all as instrument time)

If you settle into severe clear on top, do you stop timing instrument time?
(I sort of do. I guess as to how much of the flight was really instrument
time)

For those of you who log the whole flight as instrument time in the last
question, what if you cancel IFR when on top and re-file when you get to
your destination and need to descend through the clouds to get down?

For approaches, I think the rules force us into a corner. If there was a
minimum number of approach minutes that had to be logged in the previous 6
months. Then it would be easier to interpret that those 15 seconds
descending through the cloud deck was loggable but not the rest of the
approach.

However, since it is simply a yes or no for each approach, then I tend to
err in my favor. If I pass through a thin, thin, really thin layer and then
get cleared for a visual, I find it hard to log that as an instrument
approach. But, if I have to intercept, track, or maneuver while in the
clouds during any part of the approach, I consider that loggable.

Ron and Steven, this answers the question of what kind of approach is
loggable, how? If you're going to have a cat fight, at least change the
subject line.

I never said any such thing. Prove your allegations.

You posted your ignorance to the "FAA form 337" thread at
rec.aviation.homebuilt.

Did you cancel you post, so you could lie now, Ron?

I didn't cancel any post. What I said, and it is still true, that 337's
do not apply
to homebuilts (or any other experimental). It is you who have a
mistaken view
of the rules. Part 43 does NOT apply to experimentals. It says this
explicitly
in 43.1 (b), but you seem to not be able to understand that.
