I/R problems need advice
Flight number two. SID the NDB approach and DME arrival. Problem: have not flown the twin in 7 weeks. I feel as if I am overloaded with things to do and remember in the cockpit. I have the plan and maps etc in order, even a checklist of things to do in sequence for my own benefit. As soon as I focus on another task the scan goes to pieces and I am immediately behind the aircraft. I feel as if the brain can only do a few things at once, one more thing added and I lose the first thing I was trying to do. I know I can do it, only I wish I could get it right even initially.Radio calls and keeping track of fuel log, intercepts, situational awareness, its all a bit much for the brain to do. I am an old (39) aviator, is it my age as I hear that the older you are the harder it is.
What I need from fellow experienced ppruners who have an I/R is advice on how to get over this "hump", its frustrating me to no end and is shattering my confidence in my ability.
HELP!
