IMC Training and Risk
Surely no trained pilot can say that teaching how to deal with an IMC eventuality encourages accidents by ecouraging pilots to take risks?
Is it not the case that, following inclusion of IMC simulation in the PPL(H) syllabus, the accident rate arising from inadvertent IMC in PPL Helicopters has risen markedly? Of course, the existence of two facts in not sufficient to imply causality but it does beg the question.
