There were a couple of other lessons in there that focused mainly on aircraft control, but I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to bore you with the details.<\/p>\n
Today the plan was to do a hold, some airwork, and an approach. After departure, he told me to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153proceed direct Fillmore, hold north on the 360 radial\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Easy enough. Figured out the entry (parallel) correctly, and then got a little confused, thinking that 360 was the inbound \u00e2\u20ac\u201c instead of outbound \u00e2\u20ac\u201c course. Once I had that figured out, the hold went fine \u00e2\u20ac\u201c nailed the time within 1 second. <\/p>\n
The airwork was marginal at best. Not holding anything very tight \u00e2\u20ac\u201c especially altitude \u00e2\u20ac\u201c made it a frustrating day. At this point in the training, I feel like I should be more in control, but Kent says not to worry. A few vertical S and constant airspeed maneuvers went pretty good, so that made me feel a bit better.<\/p>\n
Then we shot the ILS at VNY. Beautiful clear day meant lots of bumps. I did a good job, not overcorrecting and staying focused all the way down to the DH. I guess that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the important part, right? I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m now at exactly 20 hours of instrument time (you need 40) and am nearly done with the Kind Instrument CD\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll do some cramming for the test in the next week or so, and have Kent sign me off for the written.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
