About time!!

[Indiana_Pilot]

After 2 months of trying to get my Instrument Checkride finished (wx and scheduling) I took it and passed!!

It was a great feeling to file and fly my Cherokee 180C through a broken layer on the way home!!

I would write a big write up but in short.. I studied... flew and passed!

I just wish I would have done his along time ago.. not after 600 hours TT!

Nice. Who was the examiner?

Off topic, but we're coming to Connersville this weekend to bring our 3 year old to see Thomas the Train. With the weather forecast, looks like we will be driving.

Oh dear god... Thomas the Trane takes over Connersville every year. lol Have fun with that!

I used Jim Hupman from Springfield, Ohio. I have been going to MGY (Dayton-Wright Brothers) for my lessons... He is truly a great examiner and gives his advice even after the check ride.. Call it words of wisdom from a very experienced Examiner and Corporate Pilot.

Yup, this right here, my thoughts exactly. Don't forget to find a good safety pilot to help you stay current and proficient! (Not always as easy as you might think ha ha)

So now you don't have to do a 180 in the 180

Excellent!

My Son took this video during my first actual IMC flight after the check ride!! It felt so good to not avoid clouds anymore!!

Cool video...I have to imagine I would be super nervous first time solo into IMC

it really wasn't at all.. I felt pretty comfortable and confident.

My first IMC flight somehow felt like a bigger achievement than my first solo. I love IMC flying.

Congrats!

Not going to lie-- I was nervous on the ground before my first solo departure into IMC. Once I was in the air, all was fine. Definitely got the ticket wet that day, though.

 

[Indiana_Pilot]

I can't get enough! I think I've file 8 times or so already!
