I was curious about this. When I got my instrument rating a few years ago (I did an accelerated course), the very first thing the CFI did was do our long IFR cross country right off. Arrived at the airport, and not long after that (hour maybe), off on the cross country. When I arrived I had just finished getting the allowed hours for instrument training on a simulator (ATC 610) from another instructor he partnered with. So it was not like it was the first thing off the bat as far as training goes, but it was our first flight after I finished the simulator portion.

It didn't matter to me one way or the other. Got my rating in two weeks. Just curious if any of you do that, or what is your opinion of that? I would just like to know your thoughts pro and con.
