Default Re: SDFCVOH's Flight training thread.

Tonight was probably the hardest (at least in my mind) of all the Instrument training to date. I'm sure its from the cold I'm trying to clear out; but tonight from the moment I put the hood on until the final approach to full stop, I felt like I was in a hard right bank. It was interesting to say the least. What a great hard core way to practice combating SD. I have a bit of a headache now that I'm guessing is the beginning of some motion sickness from almost three hours of SD: I don't wish that on anyone!

Tonight also brought to the front that I'm having the hardest time with NDB holds. I don't know why, but its just harder for me to visualize them. That sounds kind of dumb when I think about it . . . I'm sure that after the next few days I'll get them drilled deep enough in that they stick.

Another 3 hours and 5 approaches tonight. Oh yeah - absolutely greased the final full stop - best landing to date. I mean, greased like, "Are we on the ground?" That'll be the last one of those for another few years!
