Ok, so I'm going to take my medicine like a man. When it's over, I'll
report here just how ugly it got.


Why is the IPC Dreaded?

You cannot fail. It is a chance to have some fun flying, maybe learn
something new, and keep your skills up. Maybe you can try something with
your CFI you have not done before, like an ASR approach to minimums or some
feature in your avionics you have not tried before.

What could be more fun for an IFR pilot (OK, loaded question, but you know
what I mean)?

I guess it's because I know Hugh's going to turn the floodlight of
reality on me. Makes me feel like a kid who hasn't done his homework.

Yeah, I know; it'll be fine once I get into it.

Almost as much fun as a partial panel NBD at night in turbulence. Just
doesn't get any better than that! :-)

Sigh... I don't have easy access to a sim... :-(

Do I have to also pour a glass of water at the same time? :-)
