But would not PPL students have had their four hours IMC before XC? (Again, asking, I have no idea.) If they have, they are probably much more current than 99% of VFR PPLs.

AFAIK there is no 4 hours requirement any more, just an 'appreciation'. Which obviously makes the IMCr even more relevant.

You are correct. I came out of my PPL with barely 2 hours of instrument appreciation.

Imagine what you might try if you thought you could not fail...

My instructor forgot to teach me instrument appreciation, and it was only picked up on my mock checkride a couple of days before the real thing!(Have done rather more since then, of course)

Cessnas have feelings too!
