Nah, just accumulating a lot of IMC experience as of late where the scan
is
starting to become second nature, rather than demand every last brain
cycle
like it did when I was a student.

I take it you dumped that guy?

Nope. He's a 10,000 hour, gray-haired ATP with a lot of experience to
share and a very good teacher. I would imagine he only hands out tasks
such as these if he has confidence in the instrument pilot taking the IPC.


Yeah, you eastern seaboard folks...

Out here in the West, it's not unusual to find a 2,000 hour pilot with less
than 40 hrs IMC time.
