Hi Stick!

Congrats and stay current!

Did 2 approches and 2 holds in an AST 300 and then did ILS 2 into HVN four
times last month.

I have quietly read this newsgroup for the past year. It has been very
helpful. During that time I was studying for my IFR rating. We'll today I
passed it on my first attempt. What a relief!



1) Autopilot GPS/VOR KCMA

2) ILS KOXR

3) VOR/A KVNY

4) FLM hold on R-240 right hand turns

5) Examiner stated "my oral review was as good as an instructor"



I worked very hard on this. It was a true challenge. I plan on flying
practice approaches with an instructor once a month. I have taken the
written IFR exam every week for a year (faatest.com software) and plan on
continuing to do so. I got a 95 on the written. So to all those working
on this rating...put in the time..never give up.and you'll make it. By
the way, I spent almost $15,000. I bought a lot of stuff, DVD's,
headsets, Cleared for Approach, etc...I had 65 hours of IFR training all
in a C172S/G
