truckflyer, thanks for the response!

I'm sure there are many met factors that could impede the flying that perhaps I'm not even fully aware of yet, not having been exposed to the die hard regulatory environment of the instrument world!

The only flying job I've had so far was as simple as, see the clouds, read about the wind, AVOID!

I'm anticipating a start around July/August to give myself a safe two months, although if it looks like there's going to be a spell of good weather, I'll take a couple of weeks off and aim intensive.

The only concern I have is this... As much as I, and I'm sure all of us, like to think of ourselves as competent pilots having taken the trouble to gain a CPL, more than a couple of times have I seen people experience no troubles whatsoever throughout their training until the IR where they flounder catastrophically, or simply 'don't get it'.

Couldn't afford for that to happen!

Again, thank you for your advice, it's all been stored away
