Yes they do. The definition flydrive gives is also in the Pilot/Controller Glossary. VMC and IMC have nothing to do with how you navigate the aircraft, they are categories of weather. If you are making a circling approach you are looking out the window to navigate the aircraft but still on an IFR flight plan. If you’re not doing an auto land you look out the window to flare. Are you saying RVR 2000 is VMC in that case?
