Mine was all very uneventful. The oral was very long. Several hours.
Flying was not big deal. Hold entry, shoot a GPS / ILS / VOR approach. fly
from the right seat. I really can't rememebr much more than that and it was
only about a year ago, so it must nto have been a big deal.

I did try to answer some of the questiosn without taking enought time. I
was incredibly well prepared and I was answering some before he finished the
questions. Then he started to change questions mid-stream to get me to hear
the whole question and then answer.

Take your time. This is not that hard compare to most of the other training
you have completed.

Jim,
As I remember mine, I don't think I flew the airplane much. I think I
had to demonstrate some basic instrument competency from the right seat.

The meat of the ride was the ability to teach effectively (breakdown a
maneuver into its elements and teach each element) and to diagnose
"student" errors, which the DE simulated. It really was a "teaching
test" more than an instrument flying test (but that could have been
different if he had seen any weakness in that area, I believe).
