Day 8
Again the weather is really good for flying today, We lined up on the centre line and I had to put the hood on. I then carried out my first instrument take off and headed out to about three miles off-shore, we looked at flight using partial panel. I found this quite tiring and it was quite a long flight, about 90 minutes. We steered around just using the compass and turn indicator and carried out various climbs and descents at different speeds. I seem to have got the checklist right at last and managed to remember pre climb and descent checks as well. We landed and had lunch and then went up again to do unusual attitude recovery using limited panel. By now I was close to overload, and had a banging headache, but we continued for about an hour and it really went quite well. We landed and due to my overload situation I shut down the aircraft without using the checklist. Oh dear another black mark on my arm. I was glad to get back to my room today and imagine I will sleep like a baby.
