I would like to see more training done when the wind is howling, rain is bucketing down and the scud is barely above MSA. That approach teaches students to know how far they can go, and a bit of respect for the elements.
I have to agree with this one, this was not included in my early training, (which by the way was conducted at a school run by ex Raffie pilot instructor), and it was quite a few years before I became confident flying in less than almost perfect weather.
