Not entirely correct. The CFI can log PIC because they are a CFI giving dual. Doesn't matter if you are flying through rain, sunshine, smoke, or locust's. If I am giving dual, I'm logging PIC.
However, I still don't feel comfortable about logging approaches in IMC...everyone keeps saying you can, but we need proof people!
