Do you have a link the FAA FAQ's? I talked to my professor again and he said that flying solely by reference to instruments without a defined horizon and you can't see the ground, you can log actual. Seems that I was right.

Now I was talking to some senior pilots and they said just the opposite of this. I did a solo flight in pitch black over Northern AZ on an instrument flight plan and they said I could not log it as actual time unless I was in the clouds!

So I just kept the instrument collumns in my logbook blank because I want to avoid gray areas in my logbook. Does anybody else have an opinion on this? Of course, I'd like to log times when I have to fly by instruments "actual time." And in my own meaningless personal opinion, I think you should be able to log actual flight time if the only to way to fly the airplane is -- solely by reference to instruments. But unfortunately, I'm not the FAA!
