Instrument Training take two.

Yesterday was day two of my instrument flight instruction.  Again we worked on partial panel flying and a little bit of full panel.  I was so happy to have all of my instruments visible that I made sure to pay attention to all of them.  This turned out to be a great training aide in preventing me from ignoring any of the instruments.  The weather was fantastic so there were a lot of other aircraft flying.  It was a busy task keeping a good lookout for all of them.  Looking forward to the next flight and enjoying the fact that I am getting to know mt airplane even better.

Instrument Training back in swing!

Last Monday I had my first instrument flight lesson in almost a year.  I only had one at that time so I am pretty new to this.  My instructor is Theresa, who also taught my instrument ground school class.  We started off with a short discussion about what we would be doing that day before taking off.  We talked about starting partial panel (flying with only some instruments available) so that I could get used to what instruments worked best for me to maintain maximum control.  This technique helps to solidify the confidence in each instrument as well as develop an efficient scan of the instruments when they are your sole source of information.  The flight went well.  It pointed out to me that I have a long way to go to being a proficient instrument pilot.
