- I did this too, and I found it most helpful. My instructor let me take on
- as much of the workload as I could handle, and would bail me out just before
- I'd bust an altitude or clearance or such. Excellent training, if you're
- confident enough to handle the stress.

- As I understand it, you can log PIC in IMC if there's a CFII in the right
- seat, but not if it's just a brave instrument rated pilot. The DE checked
- my logbook and accepted all my 9+ hours IMC X-C time as PIC X-C time without
- question. I know he looked pretty carefully, because we had a discussion
- about whether the simulators I 'flew' were approved for IFR training.
