G'day
Obs cop! Sounds like you're back in the saddle and enjoying yourself! I am envious of your experience of a little ice: although I did get to spend some time in actual IMC, it never iced and I find myself wondering what it would look like, whether I'd notice it, how ti would affect handling, how quickly it would melt once I descended etc. as it's always better to have practical than theoretical experience... anyway, thanks for your description!
I have not used the rating in anger yet - primarily because I don't have it... I sent off the form with logbook and a cheque for £70 on Monday last week and on about Thursday received a receipt (so at least I know that they have received the application and logbook OK). I guess I'll have it in a week or so!?
Am planning to fly VFR next weekend - I almost "need the practice" at VFR now!
Then, on Sat 12 Feb, I have planned a trip to Land's End with a mate of mine, which we'll do primarily VFR but I plan to a) climb above a thin layer if there is one; and b) do a practice approach at Exeter and/or Bourmeouth on the way back... so that will hopefully be the first use of the rating in anger.
I guess you must have the test coming up soon... good luck!
Andy
