I had my second long instrument flying session recently. I've made an effort to talk informatively about my flying experiences and not too much about just me...but I'm pleased to say that my instructor has basically run out of stuff for me to do in the instrument training, and I still need to log more than an hour of instrument instruction before my check ride.
The instrument flying is becoming fun; I'm sort of good at it. A lot of learning to fly has been a feel sort of thing, which are new experiences (as compared to Flight Simulator, for instance). However, the instrument training is more cerebral, like a video game...and that I'm fairly practiced in.
The assumption is that a student will do a bunch of preparation before the test; it's required to do at least three flight hours within 60 days before. The only thing I have left before that process is the night training. The required night training includes at least 3 hours flying, a cross country flight of over 100 miles total distance, and 10 take-offs and landings. I think we can do it all in one flight, but I'm not entirely sure.
With some luck, I might get my certificate in May sometime.
