On completion of my instructor rating in the late 90's my FIC took me into cloud for at least 6-7 mins which seemed like 6 - 7 hours. I re call being able to hold it straight / level with some minor adjustments from my instructor. Its not that differcult knowing you have a once IMC examiner sat next to you ready to sort it out.
In reality without proper training its impossible and that's without that the blind panic thats sets in 5 seconds after it all goes white after a further 15 seconds you start to sweat and then its starts to snowball. The feeling in your stomach is yuk
Its a lot easier in a 44 and a Bell 47 you can eat your butties on the way.
IMC is for twin pilot in a proper machine.
So why are we training simulated imc. Its a complete nonsense
