As far as passengers, I took my wife up for her first trip. Granted, she
has been great throughout my flying experiences, but she was not
comfortable in solid IMC. It was smooth as silk, and we were in IMC for 40
minutes until I got on top at 8000 feet further down the road. She didn't
like the fact that she felt like a "speck" with no visual references. So,
each passenger will have their own tolerences.


Boy, you can say that again about "their own tolerences". The first time my
instructor took me into IMC I got a bit on edge and he said, "Just remember how
you felt today and understand how your wife is going to feel the first time."
Well in our first IMC flight I tried to brief the wife and when we entered the
clouds I kept asking how she felt and she kept saying "No problem, why are you
asking?" Now hit a few bumps and she is "Let's get this thing down - NOW" So
go figure.
