Yes drizzle your right but as i was the owner and CFI and it was part of my sylabus.

I was given a student that no one could get first solo, i did an hours formation flying with him, 3 landings and 3 go arounds and sent him first solo. Everyone else had written him off but he turned out to be one of the best pilots of that year.

Whats the point of doing precautionary IF with someone if you do not let them try a PAR or SRA for real. If they do get stuck in cloud and some ATC unit has to get them down thats the approach they are going to use. Or would you rather the first time in anger be the first time ever. Or perhaps just blindly let down into high ground

Next time you go for a golf lesson ask your instructor if he just always copies what everyone else does without questioning it or does he spend time constantly trying to improve delivery and content.
