I decided to pursue the instrument ticket about 2 and a half months ago. Having earned my PPL in May 2010, I've logged about 10 hours of PIC since then (not much..I agree), but work and family have been keeping me busy. So in late June 2011, I decided to take the plunge and work on getting the IR. I've done 3.2hrs so far and I'm loving the training and the theory behind it!...I guess what they say is true after all, the IR makes you a better and safer pilot.
Because its currently the Holy Month of Ramadan( A month were Muslims fast during the daytime) my instructor and I fly during the night which is a magical experience all together. The air is cooler and the ride way smoother than it would be during the very hot and bumpy daytime.
So what have I done so far?...
Instrument Scan
Attitude flying
Standard rate turns, climbs and descends
Compass Turns
Constant speed climbs and descends
We're planning on doing partial panel training in the next flight lesson which is yet to be scheduled!!! In the meantime I'm hitting the books and having a ball learning the theoretical aspect of instrument flying.
