Hi Dane,

I am only an instrument student, but after about 26 hours of simulated
I finally got to experience some actual on saturday here in Denver.
Flew out of BJC and did an ILS back in, and then headed over to APA for
two more ILS appchs, then back to BJC for another ILS. Had a total of
1.6 with 1.0 actual. It was a very cool experience to see what I'm
actually training for!


I sure hope you have an instructor like I had. He had me do ILS minimums
in actual conditions. First time I did an approach myself, with 1000 foot
ceilings, felt like I had a ton of time after breaking out.

Saturday, flew up to OWB from MBO, and did a GPS 5 approach, broke out at
600 AGL, light rain and 2.0 mile viz with the two strobe lights on each
side of the runway calling me home :-)
