I am sitting in my office at the airport and 2 A-10's (UGLY Call Sign) have just done 2 ILS patterns, in loose formation. I understand that on your instrument check rides the examiner flies your wing as you fly the practical portion of the check ride, being the A-10 is single seat. Does the examiner radio you to give yourself an engine malfunction for a single engine ILS? Interesting challenges. I knew an Air Guard A-10 pilot giving an instrument check to another and didn't advance power correctly on the break and stalled the airplane, pancaked in and died, my Commander's son watched it happen.

Great questions to get the gears going again, thanks. Even as an examiner I need to get into the books, as I would have been doing some serious tap dancing on some of thses questions. I absoulutely love the 3 levels of spatial D and with your permission I am going to use the analogy in my presentations on that subject. Well now that my brain hurts, I must go fly.
