Ah yes, Fly by Wife has a very good point. I managed to get half way through an IMC rating but even that was beneficial when confronted with a full VFR flight that was totally IMC, ie the golden goldfish bowl of a glorious autumnal afternoon over the Channel, returning from Le Touquet. Plenty of visibility, but not a thing to reference at all. Oh for a puffy white cloud in the distance.
Here's another question.
Is it worth me finishing (repeating?) the IMC rating? The plane has now got nothing left that works as a nav tool.
