IFR written passed

[Tune2828]

have about 140 hours and 8 hours into instrument work. going at moderate pace-
usually once a week sometimes two, but long flights and i practice MS04 and
read a lot in between. probably gonna step it up a bit now that written's done

passed with 95%. was actually quite easy since i've been carrying around my
jep prep guide for 6 months, and practicing this site constantly:
http://www.webexams.com/ (before of wrong answers on runway lengths) - if
doing again i'd just get the gleim.

the CAT test interface totally changed since my ppl in 2000. easier to read,
illustrations on screen. not DOS looking anymore.

also i should know this - but can anyone confirm the minimum hours for
checkride? i believe it's 30 total, 15 with CFI - but how many of these can be
in sim?

been looking into doing some more sim time - and was looking at pics of various
AST-300's and found this link to a 737 sim avail. to public
too bad it's in brussels. united had a really cool 2 day program where you
learned 737 systems and spend a few hours in sim, but don't see it on their
link anymore, so prob cx'd due to 9/11

That's not it. The exact reason wasn't specified, but Continental is
now hosting that program.

You'll find the full details in Part 61. The total instrument flight time is 40 hours (unless
you're in a Part 141 school where it's lower). You can do up to 20 hours in one of the
fully approved simulators, or up to 10 hours in a PC based simulator.
