Line Up and Wait
....my IPC. I'm always nervous, for some silly reason, as if it's a check ride. So I started off rough, as usual, and then settled in. Went IFR to another field, and ATC immediately thru in some unexpected curve balls. Worked thru those and proceeded with executing several nice approaches.
Oh, and did I mention the winds are really sucky today, so I was working my a** off.
Final approach was partial panel, and the CFI took everything away.....no toys to help. All was going well, intecepted the course, did the procedure turn, headed back in, crossed the FAF, and then........brainfart. I drifted off course, and I couldn't pull it back together again.
End result.......I get to go back up tomorrow and partial panel my brains away.....
And wasn't it just a year ago that I was whining cause I couldn't make my fancy boxes work, but I could execute a beautiful partial panel. Sheesh!!!
