Thanks, your advice has been helpful but hopefully I won't be in a situation where I will have to fly in rain and my instructor is very experienced. However one of you said that there are no wipers, and the windscreen would be blocked from the precipitation what would happen of you tried coming in a cross wind formation and maybe one side would slightly clear but if the rain was severe how would you find yourself to the runway since cessna's are not equipped with the capability of using a glide slope or localizer.
