"Cecil E. Chapman" wrote in message . com... This may be a 'silly human question', but how does one legally land at an airport if it is IFR at the airport and the plane doesn't have a GPS, yet the only published instrument approach for that airport IS a GPS? He said he shot the ILS to SJC and did a SPECIAL VFR to RHV. Used to be a pretty standard occurance to get into VKX, the airport manager even made up an approach plate for "ILS into ADW, special VFR ot VKX" |

I'm close to completing my PPL (9 days for my checkride) and planned to go onto to get IFR training in a 6-7 months. The weather in the San Francisco Bay area has been quite cloudy and rainy and was thinking about starting my IFR training immediately in order to take advantage of the IMC conditions. I know most people get IFR rated without having ever flown in IMC. I want to do it for real. So a simple question......what items did you find helpful for IFR training? This is in regards to books (my instructor recommended Gleim, a book by Dugan (?), and the Jeppeson book), foggles (brands?), timers, anything and everything. I'm definitely more into quality than quantity. I'd rather spend an extra money and get best, easiest and especially the safest. thanks Gerald I found the Elite Pro Trianer software very valuable and I still use it today. I recomend the $500.00 training package with the USB yoke. John Roncallo |
