All this talk about flying risk and family has reaffirmed my enthusiasm for having some time with an instructor to practise flying in degraded situations. To be clear, I've no plans to fly in IMC, but as we've read: many bad situations began with someone saying the same thing.
So, if I have an NPPL(A) with microlight rating, what options exist?
Am I right to assume that all I can do is book informal time with an instructor that won't 'count' for anything, because IMC rating can't be added to NPPL?
Given that the aircraft I fly is not fitted with instruments for IMC, is it useful to jump in a different aircraft for lessons, or will the two be sufficiently different that anything I practice won't be that relevant?
I'm assuming that there is nothing stopping me booking onto and taking an IMC course, but that at the end of it it will just be an experience, rather than anything formal I can recognise.
