Dear JC forum,
OK, I've been hiding a dirty secret from my fellow jc bunch and the secret is that I have started the flight training for my instrument rating last week. I intend to use GI bill so I'm using this 141 school in the area that is VA approved. I had two lessons so far and both in a PCATD sim. Now, this is kinda bugging me because they charge the same as the real flying and they want me to do 8-10 hours in a sim before I get to fly for real. Well, both times the weather kind of sucked so I didn't really care, besides the sim is kinda cool, but I'm getting anxious to fly for real. All I did so far was some turning to headings and changes in speed and altitudes and I aced it so I feel like wasting time a bit. Well, I guess I'll keep posting my new experiences here as they come. I'm wondering though...how many of you did some sim time for your instrument training and did it really help you any or not? For me personally it feels like flying my MS flight simulator which I flew like a million times already. Please don't clutter this thread with totaly unrelated stuff...thanx.
Truly yours,
Skidz
