I certainly would not "depend" on basic IFR training for an inadvertent excursion into the clouds, but it should be part of the quiver of skills and preparation. Most training single engine aircraft are very stable and will re-establish level flight if you take your hands off the controls. Try the IFR training in a MD 500, that is rather thrilling

What do you think of depending on basic IFR training in Single Engine Light aircraft as preparation for inadvertent emergency cloud flying in a glider?

Does anyone in the UK offer glider cloud flying training for visiting USA licensed glider pilots?
