Anyone who takes a student into IMC, in a single eng a/c, not equipped or legal for such flying, is out of order. I don't care how it's dressed up. My instructor showed me how to do a wingover and also how to balance on a fence post after only 5 hours or so flying in an R22. No prizes for what I went out and did straight after PPL. ???!!!!
You live and learn. I think we're wasting our time and effort sometimes, and yes, I think the 5 hr instrument requirement is b*ll*x.
You are doing a VFR licence, in a VFR machine. Period. No need to see what it's like in IMC. Teach them well enough to know not to be there in the bloody first place!
Anyone ever heard of 'Duty of Care' ?????
Rant over!!!

Reason: as mentioned, not a slagging match.
