IFR Stuck
Stuck
Almost complete with my IFR ticket, but can’t seem to get it over the line. It’s clear now the AFIT training was inadequate. I’m now training with Pate after Tim and I had a falling out. Currently the focus is hand flying VOR approaches.
The good news is I’m getting comfortable with the Columbia. Got about 50 hours.
The bad news is I’m not comfortable flying solo I or with landings.
I’ve got to get focused, and do the following
1) Solo time 172 – practice landings and basic maneuvers
2) IFR dual with Pate – nail approaches
3) Columbia dual with Tres till ready to solo
4) Sim time before all above – always fly with a mission
5) Flash cards for IFR trivia – carry and review
6) Reading
I need to develop the confidence to enjoy flying and to take passengers on fun trips.
I’ll log my progress here.
