My very first time flying into IMC conditions was during a PP training
flight, when my instructor agreed to let me see what it was light to

^^^^^ like

shoot an ILS approach back into our home airport.

We were over a status layer, and approaching a wall of cloud. It looked

^^^^^^ stratus

like we were going to crash into it. The instructor told me that, to
reduce the potential for disorientation, I should switch my gaze to the
inside of the cockpit before we reach the clouds.

I basically told him to get bent - this was the first time I'd ever
seen this, and I was going to watch! ;-)

I looked great, by the way.

So you really meant that it was *you* who looked great? :-)
