Disregarding whether or not the instructor handled the situation
properly,
how many of you feel that getting experience in actual IMC during flight
instruction is a bad thing?

I certainly don't, and I've let primary students fly my plane in IMC.
However, quite a few people on this newsgroup argued otherwise. I
don't think their arguments are valid, and I don't think any
experienced instructor would agree with them, but the jury won't be
made up of experienced instructors - it will be made up of non-pilots.


I might be thinking of another accident, but wasn't some of the concern
regarding this accident due to the student being at a bar the night before
and the instructor was trying to build time and called the student to come
take an unscheduled lesson?
