Dear All,

Looking for some help here as I just can't understand what has gone wrong.

I'm 9 and a bit hours through my IMC and really enjoying it, getting quiet a buzz when it all works out, taking the hood off and the runways infront of you (Almost). Then all of a sudden I'm stumped. My big problem has come since I started NDB tracking, I've covered SRA's, ILS's, Base turns and tracking to from up down left and right of VOR's. Now all of a sudden I can't even fly straight and level with the hood on. I've spent hours on RANT (which in my opinion is excellent) and got the tracking to and from NDB's in my head firmly but my scan has gone to pot. I can't hold a reference heading or a height.!!!!!

I have two ideas of my own as to why this is happening.

1, I just need a break, work is busy and trying to squeeze lots of flying in too.

2, The ADF is in the furthest bar one position on the pannel to the right. Every time I look at it I'm either climbing, turning.... etc.

Is No. 2 just an excuse or should I stop being soft and get back up there and work at it.

Any tips help advise would be greatly appreciated.
