On a number of occasions, I have seen these pilots continuing on in deteriorating conditions. I can see things getting worse, but it would appear that the handling pilot cannot, or does nothing if he does see it. By talking to him/her you can then get him to start to see the clues and to take control of the helicopter. I think it needs more than to tell students/new pilots not to fly in poor conditions: I think that you need to show them what it looks like and what to do about it. I am not sure that the simple simulators do this very well - the real thing is different.
Quite right - some just cannot see it until shown - simulators don't do it...
....it's called VRF
