CF&Helinut - agree with you both also, irrespective of the current 'introduction' to IF flight, there is insufficient' or non existent instruction on the correct planning processes involved to cater for a potential inadvertent IMC whilst en-route - and what to do after that circumstance has been entered into. I prefer to think of the current situation as a familiarisation to enable the pilot to learn how the instruments work and how they are used in such conditions only. Not a means to get you out of the muck when you fly into it. The simple essential fact in all situations where there is an inadvertent IMC is that the pilot failed to make a correct command decision in time and either divert whilst still VMC, or in the worst case land. Unfortunately, not all pilots who hold a license have sufficient quality in command ability.
