I completed an intensive IMC in the UK back in September. The fact that it is instrument flying means that you are not going to have to cancel due to wx as much as on a PPL course. Flying in real weather as opposed to under the hood is quite different and you really want to experience it. Flying around with a visor on in Florida is going to be a totally different experience than descending through thick cloud and turbulence.

Anyway, I would certainly recommend doing it and assuming we are allowed to continue to use it post April, make sure you keep the skills current. I am doing quite a few flights now that I couldn't have done before, we just keep it safe by having two IMCr pilots in the cockpit to share the workload.

Enjoy! Some of our training videos are here too: EGHHFlyers's Channel - YouTube
