Back flying after 28 years

[Horsedoc]

Hey guys and gals, short intro, haven't flown for 28 years due to career. Now retired and been back at it. I have a somewhat dumb question to most, but I learned old school

You actually can do instrument training in the 162 as well, even though it is not certified for IMC.

Why do you say that? No actual? Almost every instrument pilot in Phoenix gets their cert with no actual !

Because using the gps in a 162 wouldn’t teach you much of anything useful about shooting an approach. JMO

Not disagreeing at all Salty but would just like to understand this better. Is that something else about the 162? Or the fact that you can’t shoot an approach in IMC?
