if your on top, you still have a horizon, you can fly legal VFR over the
top,
without seeing the ground. But for VFR, you need a clear spot to decend
through.
For instruments, you can decend through the cloud, at that point your
solely on
instruments and you can log that portion of it.

Yes, I know.

requirements are to be solely on instruments for it to be logged as
actual.

See my other post about deceiving cloud tops. (not flat).

I think some people tend to log actual when they are not suppose to.
How often do you stay in the clouds? once you can see again, your not
in
actual
and cant log it.


"In clouds" only, or in the clear (VFR) "on top"? Both are flight
without
reference to ground or other cues. Kinda ambiguous, huh?
