Helinut -
Oh and we should immediately stop that pointless and dangerous "instrument flying" that is part of the standard syllabus. It says exactly the wrong thing to the student. And it simply does not equip them to go IMC, whilst pretending to them that it is possible. In practice, in a small unstabilised light helicopter almost no one will survive a real inadvertent IMC incident.
The best thing I've read on here for a long time.
When I did my ppl I was told - keep away from clouds!
It does seem since the introduction of the extra 5hrs 'instrument training' there has been more of these type of accidents but how can you campaign for less training
