When in PPL training, it was drumed into me about going into IMC. Also how/what to do to get out of it. Currently you only need 2hours of imc flight for you ppl, and all that is is a rate 1 turn to get out of imc. I think alot more imc flight should be taught in the PPL, i had a few extra lessons of it and it has helped me no end.
I have, however, never found myself in that situation (and i hope i wont) but i think that a few extra lessons of imc flight in the ppl could be the difference between life and death.
A sobering mp3 to listen to.
