My advise: don't log any actual for this flight. (It's only .2, what's the big deal anyway?) It sounds like either you were not in IMC or your flight into IMC was a violation of FARs. Secondly, please review FAR 91.155 (VFR cloud clearance and visibility requirements) prior to your next flight.

Are you instrument rated?
Instrumented rated? No, but I answered you question directly. It took me 12 minutes from the time I hit the fire haze to ask Beaumont to climb higher through both haze and clouds to subsequently clear the clouds. So, no, I wasn't clear of clouds until I went higher.

Also, thoroughly read 91.155. No violations were applicable to me at the time I initially got my weather briefing. Additionally, that low overcast/haze rolled in unexpectedly given the fires that were being initiated in the area.

So, you're saying if flight into IMC was accidental, I show make an erroneous input into logbook?
