I am instrument rated, so would you recommend for the unfamiliar airports using the approach charts for altitudes for obstacle clearance, etc.? Or maybe even just flying the approach even though VFR? |
I filled both requirements at night and saved some money. However, I did my commercial multi first, so I was able to have an instructor in the plane and log it as acting PIC instead of needing solo time. Also, filing an instrument flight plan for it is helpful. The FAR's just say it has to be VFR conditions. Good luck.
