Thanks for the comments and I think you are all right saying "get into real IMC conditions". Watched a few things on youtube and its looks much different to my good weather flights
I had a better look at CAAP 5.13-1 - Private IFR, and it only give any required or suggested hours for the FPAs.
Anybody who did the Instrument Departure FPA or the GPS/NPA approach with Visual Circling FPA? Sure it will vary between students, but what would be a good number of hours for the FPAs ?
@Nose_Wheel - I plan to do most of my training on a Archer with 2x G430W and an S-TEC 50 AP.
Many Thanks!
