Do you actually believe everything the newspapers print? What I find alarming is that this instructor chose to take his primary student out flying on perhaps the worst day for weather flying in the past few months. This does NOT look good. You seem to be inferring quite a bit from an untrained, incomplete source for aviation accident investigation determination. I'm not saying that I have determined anything, so please do not put words in my mouth. What I said was that from a pilot's perspective, as well as from that of the general public, this does not look good. Can you say "reckless and careless"?

If the instrutor was IFR rated, and he was flying, it was a straightforward deal. My instructor demoed IFR flights for me many times during my IFR training, does that make him an idiot ? What say we find out what really happened.

Do we know how the weather was? I've taken students out when the AWOS
says 1/2 mile vis with indef ceiling 100 feet (we get a lot of fog around here). It's good practice for the student to shoot real approaches with some misses (we have above fog alternates close by). An approach to a 100 foot ceiling is interesting since it usually means you see the rabbit at 200 feet. -Robert, CFI
