Here's the exact wording I decided upon when dealing with Ex. 27 (book again, sorry!). It is in red text and in the centre of the graphic arrangement. -

'Although Europe (under JAR) has added Basic
Instrument Awareness to its PPL H syllabus it must be clear that this exercise does not turn the PPL H pilot into an instrument rated pilot.

The exercise was included only to give some
basic knowledge in reaction to problems
experienced by pilots inadvertantely entering conditions of poor visibility. It is only intended for support of VFR flight.

Cloud and poor visibility conditions must still be avoided at all costs. KEEP OUT of cloud and poor visual conditions, they have killed many people.

Land if you have to, and live to apologise to a landowner or those awaiting your arrival.'

Out of interest, I've only flown one full instrument trainer R22 (G DMCD), based at Fast, Thruxton. Are there any more in UK?
