Instrument Flying Tips

Right lads, some excellent points! So in summary:
- Trim, trim and trim some more!
- Ask yourself compulsively "whats next", and possible using tools as suggeste via links given by limitedslip, or the T.A.A method.

I have been told that cockpit management and the work cycle is something that comes with time and experience, and as mentioned its quite a lot without much experience, so hopefully as the hours build up...lets see.!
As CAT3C said, going from 3miles a minute to 8miles a minute is a big change! However the transition from 1.5 miles to 3miles a minute has proved to be quite a transition as well, however I guess the difference is the tools and flight management computers you have! I'm sure some of the more experienced guys on here can comment on this though working on jets at 500mph already.
Thanks for all the top tips.
