But, the point that we are beating here is that see-and-avoid is the
basic responsibility of all players all of the time.


That is true with the obvious exception of operations in IMC.


IMC does not provide an exception.

Considering that IMC is visibility less than three miles, I suppose
you are correct.

IMC is anything less than what is required for VFR flight. In Class E
airspace at 10,000 MSL or higher with less than five statute miles
visibility you're in IMC. In Class E airspace at 10,000 MSL or higher with
a cloud deck less than 1000' above or below you you're in IMC even if
visibility is unlimited.

Agreed. I was speaking generally.

In Class E airspace at 10,000 MSL or higher with less than five statute miles
visibility you're in IMC. In Class E airspace at 10,000 MSL or higher with
a cloud deck less than 1000' above or below you you're in IMC even if
visibility is unlimited.


That's also true for Class G airspace at night at more than 1,200 feet
above the surface and at or above 10,000 feet MSL.
