This thread shows how much Instructors can vary.
On one of my lessons - about halfway through my PPL with an old school, massively experienced Instructor we were returning to base from a Navex when a local rain shower was soaking the airfield and two miles around it whilst everywhere else was dry. Quite windy and therefore obvious it was going to blow through.
I was asked - 'Imagine you're in charge, what do you do ?'. Answered that I'd bimble around bit and wait for it to clear.
He then said 'Right answer, but I have control, watch and learn'. We flew through it. I learned a lot - mostly that I'd still prefer my answer !
