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

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.
