The least experienced press on, whereas the more experienced turn back to join the most experienced whom never left the ground in the first place.
Great quote. It should be printed on the cover of every ppl and cpl licence issued.
The two hours (or is it five?) needed on simulated IMC for the PPL is not enough to last you many years.
Dead right. It's no where near enough to be able to cope with inadvertant flight into IMC a few years later. I donīt think increasing it is the answer though. Better decision making could be achieved by increasing awareness of how relentlessly repetitive these crashes are. A bi annual written exam on the circumstances of accidents like this would help and most ppls would actually enjoy studying for it. Make it compulsory but free of charge.
