A while back I took a fellow with a new instrument rating for a ride in
my VFR 360.  I asked him to bring his hood for some partial panel work.
He had no hood but brought his foggles. I tried the foggles for a while and found them not very challenging, then
gave them to my passenger to try. After a few minutes I distracted him
and pulled the breaker on the turn coordinator. He flew on making climbs,
descents and turns to a heading as instructed. Finally I couldn't take it any longer and asked for a standard rate turn
after which he detected the failure of his only gyro.

I recommended that he stay out of IMC, get a new instructor and trash the
foggles.
