But I heard that alot of people find the IR training quite hard.
I was thinking- is there anything I can do to start preparing myself? I have been looking over some youtube videos but couldn't find anything very useful.
I would love to hear some of your ideas!
Thanks
As you say the CPL is just PPL to a higher standard and more professional.
IR is a bit more intense but the training you’ll receive will stand you in good stead. Like someone else mentioned RANT was a great tool for me because initially I struggled to get my head around hold entries.
The rest of the IR I actually really enjoyed. Nothing more satisfying at this stage of training than departing and going straight to instruments and some time later finding yourself at minimums on an ILS at an airfield an hour or so away.
It’s intense and sometimes tough but the hardest part is parting with the money to pay for it all...
