    First IFR XC

    Flying back to my home drome yesterday (MQY) I was given "make a left downwind for runway 19" by the tower. It's the first time I've ever seen this airport from the sky. I started my instrument training when I moved to TN and I've always been wearing foggles or in the soup or both. It took me...

    First IFR XC

    I passed my checkride on Monday and flew from Nashville to Memphis (and back) today. MQY - M01 in a 172. It was a great trip. It sure is different flying in those clouds without another pilot sitting in the right seat. It was pretty cool to watch two T6’s land. Those T6 pilots taxi just...

    Is the Hinch Mountain VOR (HCN) in Crossville, TN, out of service?

    My buddy told me HCN is permanently out of service. However, I still see routes using it on Foreflight and it shows up in recent IFR charts. Any insights? Here is the NOTAM: HCH CSV 06/6023 NAV TACAN AZM OUT OF SERVICE 1506151901-PERM

    Help with overcoming "IFR bordem"...

    Do what I did. Go on an IFR-Adventure. My Instructor and I went from Nashville to Key West (and back) over a long weekend. It certainly wasn't boring and I got all my training done. https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/3-day-ifr-adventure.109331/

    IFR Checkride Flight Planning Question

    Good point. If I plan on airways, I'll be in a better position for GPS failures.

    IFR Checkride Flight Planning Question

    Instructions are to flight plan: MQY CHA TYS MQY with approaches at each airport. My aircraft is /G. I'm not sure if I should plan airways / VOR or just Direct-to. I also don't think I should pre-select my approaches before I file. I've read plenty of POA remarks on this topic. In real...
