I know you were the student but how did the instructor knowingly break
the VFR visibility requirements if you were in the clouds?  It wasn't
my ass that the plane was strapped to but just wondering.

BTW, I actually asked my instructor to file a an IFR plan so I can
get some actual time when I was (still am since my PPL checkride
is December 17th) but he said to save it for my IFR ticket which
should begin sooner rather than later.
