FFF,
Bit harsh - everyone cheating!! From chatting to the instructors round the school I use it seems that some people just simply cannot cope with real IMC. Maybe they able to fly in foggles as they take comfort in the fact they can take them off if it all goes pear shaped and recover the aircraft, in the real thing you have no get out clause.
It is probably more a case of some pilots may be suited to VMC only, as in the same way some people refuse to drive a car at night as they dont like it. If you get chance chance they try and tag along on an IMC flight, nothing like spending the last 30 mins of approach in clouds and turbulence kicking to make sure you are still awake
It is certainly a different experience to foggels.
