My greetings to Ougadougou,
I still want to see the first space cadet doing 35 hrs training in a C172 who is able to understand and fly safely in IMC conditions.
Among a few others, I also have an FAA ATP with a bunch of type ratings on it. Although the type ratings are very practical and clear, the Instrument rating issued on the commercial ticket ( the ATP includes IFR), was merely a ticket to learn. Most training is indeed done in nice weather conditions 'under the hood', and many pilots never saw a cloud from the inside.
The results show when training for a type rating in a simulator, when flying a raw data approach, after being positoned on a stabilized flight path on a 12 mile final, down to minimums. While this might be sufficient to fly an airliner in automatics, as a copilot , it definitely does not suffice to operate an aircraft in common IMC single pilot, hands flown.
Do not fool yourself in aviation, there is no shortcut to safe flying.
