I like that sentiment a lot better than some of the others I've seen recently. If you can't fly in IMC right after 40 hours of training you are going to be in trouble when you are barely managing to keep current! instruction I got from Portland Approach was to hold over Battleground...at 6,000. [...] Later, holding in IMC, was told it was 2003Z and to expect my next clearance at 2030Z. Hey, if you could hold for 20 minutes over BTG in actual without busting PTS standards you deserve the rating just for that. Every hold I've flown there involved large pitch changes on each leg to adjust to the gorge winds blowing over the hill the VOR is on. Interesting that your examiner went up in actual. The guy my CFII likes now doesn't stay instrument current, so in actual he requires that the CFII ride along for the practical test. -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/ |
