my advice is to pay for an hour in an fnptII. After say 20 minutes flying the circuit with full visuals, and getting used to the sensitivity of it all, have the viz brought down to say 2k or so and add some rain. fly around like that for 5 minutes then just climb into a nice grey environment. Funny how quickly you become immersed and how real it feels. I'm hoping this exact thing can be shown by Paco.
Whirly, if your instructor took you into IMC in a 300 or R22 then can you tell me why he thought it a good idea? Apart from the fact it was probably illegal even if he did have a valid IR.
Ask the one guy who does the CPL/FI flight test and see what his thoughts are on it all?
The thought that just climbing 100' into cloud? Again, how do you know you're only going to go 100' into it? My experience is that most people, never having experienced it, want to slow down once IMC and instinctively pull aft cyclic, losing airspeed and climbing. Great combination!!
