In this case I agree with SAS that ITOs can be conducted safely in a unstabilized UH1 if trained and proficient to get above a fog layer to clear above or continue IFR if necessary, You can also attain proficiency in O/O autorotations in simulator.
Zero/Zero Autorotations in a Sim.......and how does that work in real life?
