View from a newbie PPL
I'm nudging 70hours now!!! Yes, I'm Han solo himself, and have now got a whole wealth of experience to draw on. I've even flown to an airport now, that I hadn't before, all on my own.
I am attracted to the IMC because I want to fly in IMC. My weekend time is precious, trying to fit around "life control" and DIY chores that life control periodically hands out.
To many hours at a specific time on a specific day are cancelled due to wx. As I see it, if I had the IMC it would mean I would get to fly more and spend less time, with a face as long as your arm and a drill in my hand whilst I stare whispfully at the CAVOK outside.
I also want to start touring and it feels the chances of getting CAVOK over any significant distance is very limited thus I need the IMC. I fully want to fly in IMC on it.
It's true, the fact it may only last 3.5 years does slightly put me off....
