How strange : in France, you log instrument time as long as you're
flying
IFR (that is, under an IFR flight plan), and whatever the meteo
conditions.
I thought it was ICAO rules, I'm supprised that it's different in US.

That's because some pilots that have a lot of _instrument time, have very
little real time in _instrument CONDITIONS_. You do know that there is a
really big difference between the two.

Correct. Here (in France), younger instrument-rated pilots may have scores
of Instrument hours, with very few in IMC.
Still, I expected you would fill your logbook with a clear-cut legal rule
(flying under IFR FPL), and not with a somewhat subjective estimation of
being IMC or not.
