@Helinut see thats exactly why I would like more practice in flying in IIMC. because I dont think the 5 hours is enough. I know there are risks.
my understanding of the FW IMC rating that it is something that can be used to get you out of a tight squeeze and down to the nearest aerodome.
I know some use it as an excuse to do other things but I dont think that was the intention of it. correct me please if I am wrong.
I know damn well not to go flying in marginal weather. and my FI has been extremely good at pointing this out.
