Oscar Avalle Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 Let me echo Hank's comments. Go flying... My N9341v has been in maintance since about 2 months (upgrading panel, installing ASPEN, WX 500. second 430 etc...). So I have been looking through the window desperate to get in the air. Quote

rainman Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 David, Congratulations. I'm close by in Boerne and I'm about to take the instrument practical test in my Mooney. I have a bunch of useful materials that may be of help to you so let me know when you get ready....see you at Coopers for some BBQ! Ray Quote
Mcstealth Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Posted July 1, 2012 Again, thank you all for your kind replys and encouragement. As suggested by many, I am going to take my sectional and start expanding my scope, VFR. I will say this; I will NOT repeat my VFR training experience. Many lessons learned. David Quote

Mcstealth Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Posted July 5, 2012 Between me figuring out I needed to change instructors, gapping time a month here a month there, plane issues, and a checkride rescheduled over 20 times, yes 20 between the two instructors, It took way too long. I know it wasn't ALL me, just some of me. I also know what I need to do to minimize the time for me to get prepared. No more showing up at the airport without a plan. I will have a syllabus, a map of my IFR training and hold the CFII to it, eliminating unneeded repetition (as long as I prove effecient). I will find a simulator for IFR. I feel that will help. I know some of you CFI's will roll your eyes at this, but I won't let myself get in the same situation I just left. David Quote
RobertoTohme Posted July 6, 2012 Report Posted July 6, 2012 David, First and foremost, Congratulations !! I remember we were one of the first members of Mooneyspace when it came online, and you were starting to work your way around the PPL, so I know you must be feeling light on your feet with the acomplishment... Well deserved. Even if you don't start instruments right away, study the materials you've oredered and try to figure them out; that way when you 're ready to start the formal training, the concepts will materialize in the plane quicker and more naturally.... Keep the blue side up, and enjoy your new freedom! Roberto. Quote
