Very cool! That makes me feel a lot better about my eventual IR checkride
(I'm just studying for the written now). I have a lot of confidence - that
my performance will be less than perfect!

Thanks for sharing that!

I'd recommend screwing up as early as possible. My first approach was a
VOR-A. The PT involves a hold, and the DE had me hold there for a turn or
three.

It was the worse entry, and the worse hold, I've ever seen. But I managed
to stay on the proper side (somehow!) and then completed the approach well.

But that hold was so painful, and so terrible...that I realized that I
couldn't do any worse. And if I'd not failed at that point...

So I recommend an early screwup. It makes for a more comfortable ride
laugh.

- Andrew
