Compared to Shawn and Shy T, mine was a comparatively straightforward affair. En route solid IMC at 5000ft from departure to an ILS an hour away but I was spoiled by being fully coupled in a SPIFR 109C the day after I got the Rating on my licence. It was several months later before I summoned enough courage to do it manually, self-positioning from Initial Approach to establish on the LOC at about 10 miles, then got the lights at 250ft - felt about 7 foot tall after that!
As I said, compared to the others, all very straighforward in a properly equipped IFR twin. However, the first time you get the lights, all on your own, is a particular thrill!!
