Default Re: Skidz flight training confessions

Well, I've done a stage two check last thursday. We did the ILS 01 to MSY (New Orleans Intl), Localizer to 01 and VOR/DME to KNEW on the IFR plan. I did good except for making my instructor nervous because I kept looking down and double checking the minimum descent altitudes on the final stages of the approach The whole thing seemed overwhelming at first, but before you know it you realize you've done like two dozen approaches and you know what to look at and you just tweak it all up a bit and get rid of some bad habbits. I'm supposed to do a few cross countries right now and I will probably start doing some of that this week. It's being kinda hard because of some personal issues on the side, some college coursework I still have to do (my last class for my Bachelor's)
Had a little bit too much on my shoulders lately, but I'm still alive and kicking. I'll keep you all posted here on the rest of my IFR training. I still have to do the FAA written as well.
