IFR Flying Tips
Firstly you have to become skilled and confident flying IFR so do not cheat in anyway ie looking round the goggles foggles it is all about your scan
Each lesson decide when you are going to carry out your navigation aid checks as they will always come at the wrong time if you leave them and then the instructor will introduce failure senarios at the same time so get well ahead of the aeroplane
Use a good simulator to really get confident in setting up arrival's departure and practice where it is cheaper ie on the ground
Turn off the GPS, so key because you will use it for situational awareness if it is there and you have to use VOR NDB.
And lastly become skilled and confident flying IFR do not let your eyes see the horizon or the ground at any time during the training (you can for landing)
