First approach in actual
Today was the first time I've ever been established on approach, in actual.
A bit unnerving if I say so myself. Partly because it's been a month since I've been able to fly. We (another instrument pilot and I) started down into La Grange (KLGC) after we were cleared for the approach and had to intercept the localizer while still in the clouds. I over-banked a bit at first. We only had to descend through about 2000' of cloud deck, but it sure felt like a lot more. We broke out at ~1500' AGL, a little to the right of the localizer and above the slope. I think it will be a lot more hours before I attempt any single pilot IFR. -- Jeff 'The Wizard of Draws' Bucchino Cartoons with a Touch of Magic http://www.wizardofdraws.com http://www.cartoonclipart.com
