Cecil,

I had 8 when I got my ticket. My DE said don't even think of going out
alone until you have about 15 or 20. I think that's sound advise for "hard"
IMC. But I flew IFR alone a few times with 1000 to 1500' ceilings and 5
miles visibility. It wasn't too hard, but my plane has an autopilot with
altitude hold and the Garmin 295 was programmed with the route and that made
for better situational awareness.

For those of you who have your instrument ticket, how many hours of actual
IMC did you have when you got your ticket.

At approx 40 hours of instrument time I have a 'whopping' .9 hours of
ACTUAL
IMC... I sincerely hope I'm going to get to see a lot more before I get
my
instrument ticket - which I'm guessing should be around April or May at
the
latest.
