That does suggest that flying in IMC is not what should happen on an
instrument checkride.



There's also the question of the plane itself. One sage piece of
advice my instructor gave me was: "don't take a GA plane into IMC
unless you've flown it recently in VMC. Even then, be very, very
careful if it's a rented plane."

Putting myself in the place of the examiner, I'd certainly not be
willing to take an unknown plane into IMC with an unknown pilot beside
me.

Tim.
