"Mark T. Dame" wrote in : I certainly agree with this. But the sad fact is that most instructors, both CFI and CFII, don't have adequate experience. This isn't likely to change, either, given the economics of the field. Very true. I was fortunate in that one of the three instructors that I took instrument training with was experienced and competent flying IMC. He's the one I flew with the first time I flew in actual IMC. I had three instructors during my training for exact that reason. My primary instrument instructor is a very competent pilot and good at teaching techniques, but he's a "weather wimp". He got a corporate job and quit after a few months because he wasn't comfortable flying in actual IMC. (Now he's a dispatcher for a regional airline, so he doesn't have to worry about it.) Since I knew I wasn't going to get any quality IMC time with him, I flew with a couple of other guys for that. I think my primary instructor was secretly relieved that he didn't have to do that part! -m -- ## Mark T. Dame ## VP, Product Development ## MFM Software, Inc.
