the instrument ticket is priceless, 2 days ago I took my plane up for the
first
time in a month (it had been in the shop getting new avionics installed)
went only about 40 miles out to the MMM VOR, when I turned around to head
back,
the city was covered by low clouds and what looked like fog on the ground,
I
thought I could go under it, but as I got closer it did not look do'able.

I was talking to nellis approach because I was entering class B, told them
I
didnt think I could make it in without a clearence, they gave it to me and
away
I went.
technically, it was not VFR, I did not actually go through any clouds, but
I
skimmed them so I could not log it as actual. but once below the layer and
I was
able to see the airport, I canceled IFR and did the visual approach.

You can see the las vegas valley in this picture and the fog, kinda sucked
I
couldnt login as actual even tho it was not VFR.

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.
