Like many terms used by the FAA, "nearby" was undefined. I intended it to
be interpreted as near enough so that lateral differences in the airmass
would not be a significant factor, but not so nearby that collision
avoidance becomes dicey, or the ILS takes you underground. And yes, I know
of no ILS installations that actually would take you underground if flown
correctly.


"Nearby" means it's located a short distance away. What you intended it to
mean is irrelevant.



The forum in which we discuss something does not alter its truth value.
And IFR can be in VMC.


Minimum IFR altitudes apply to IFR operations without regard to IMC or VMC.
