Wouldn't a requirement for IMC operation for a Private certificate
make it impossible for a CFI to recommend a student for examination?
If such a requirement were in effect, a CFII could be necessary.

I don't think you have to be a CIF to instruct a student in IMC.

What is a CIF?

And in any case, if the FAA were to change the rags to create a PP IMC requirement,
they could just make any necessary change to the CFI rules too.

If CFI's were authorized to instruct students in IMC, there would be
no need for CFIIs. Or am I overlooking something here?
