Solo?


Jeff,

I have the IR, but this was my first time in actual without an instructor.


I think he was referring to the pilot in the right seat. I know he wasn't
your instructor or instrument-rated himself, but any sort of pilot who can
dial in frequencies and squawk codes is quite a help when flying IMC. My
first IMC without an instructor (in July) was with a passenger who doesn't
know his ass from his elbow when it comes to planes, but he was still able
act as a pen and chart holder! I dropped him off and then got about 2
minutes of truly solo solid IMC while climbing through an overcast layer,
but the rest of the flight was in the sunshine on top and the destination
was VFR.

Jeremy
