Thanks to all on this group who have answered various
questions over the last five months.

I passed my instrument checkride today!

Congratulations.

My last checkride (other than BFR's) was in 1983.

Lucky you. I get one every 6 months.

I was very nervous screwed up the first manouver and after that all
went well.

Well, stuff happens. As long as you don't fall apart & keep on flying, it
usually works out.

I now have a license to learn.

Yep. So do we all. I try to learn something every flight.

In my training I have about 4 or 5 hours actual, not very much.

Any advice for a new instrument pilot would be welcome.

Fly a lot. The best way to learn is by doing. You cannot be proficient if
you fly once a month or less. I feel a little behind for awhile after a
week off. If I take a vacation I try to be really careful when I first
come back. It takes practice, and practice, and practice..........
