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.
