I ran into an old client today and we stumbled on to the flying topic.
Turns out he got his PP a couple years ago and bought a plane.

He said with a completely straight face that he's thinking of getting an
instrument rating because he "flies in IMC a lot." He does OK but would
like to be able to ask ATC where the other planes are and fly into towered
airports.
What did you say to all this, out of curiousity?

Yikes! What are they teaching student pilots these days?

Much the same as they've always taught.

This doesn't sound to me like an issue of what's been
taught.

It sounds to me like an issue of moral failings.

I really think)
