Keep that quiet. You can lose your ticket if you get caught. Remember,
the instrument rating is the right to FILE IFR. Flying in the clouds is
not the priv of the rating, it's the filing. Technically, an instrument
student can't even call the FSS and file his dual IFR flight plan
(although I don't think any FSDO would actually go after a student who
planned to fly with his CFII).
