IFR Training
Hello,
I will get my CPL licence at the end of the month and I am now taking IFR groundschool. There is a huge amount of stuff to know but it's doable. What I am concerned about is applying all that knowledge in the cockpit. I was in a Simulator yesterday to see a demonstration of a VOR hold and I was wondering how the guy was thinking fast enough to determine instantly wether it was a Parralel, Offset or Direct entry, hold the altitude, airspeed, headings, compensate for the winds, maintaining a perfect 1 min leg inbound, etc...
I was really impressed and I walked out of there asking myself if I could do it. I would like to know how you guys got started with IFR. Are there any good softwares to practice or is Flight Simulator good enough?
Thanks!
