Well I knew there was a reason I only look at this PPRuNe rubbish once in a blue moon! I thought it was meant to be students comments not insecure wannabes who cant get a commercial job trying to get one up on each other! Who says I was not receiving a RIS (not me). Who says I was below MSA (not me). Big mountains on the coast line where I was? (NO). We did not stall, just close to it! As I am current in IMC UP recovery's It was no real problem just a bit too close to the limit for my comfort. Good to see acouple of realistic posts in there though about the value of real IMC experience. The main thing is that student will now never go near a cloud until properly qualified he now realises what spytal disorientation is REALLY like. My big mistake was crediting them with enough ability to sort it out rather than taking control sooner! But you do have to let people get it wrong order for them to learn!
Now get a grip and back to the students comments this is tedious!
