I forgot to mention, but one part of the RPL test is under the hood. I have only done my instrument hours on analogue cockpit cause glass and me dont go well together, sad fact of being older and used to analogue dials.

I had no idea I was going under the hood, and realised pretty quickly that I have no idea how to do a rate 1 turn on a G1000 cockpit. The instructors keep you in glass or analogue for all the revision and pre test stuff so your flight test will be in the same cockpit. All good except my last IFR hours were logged in analogue and I have been flying glass because of availability.

The examiner was great though. After we covered off all the stuff in the training area, he took the time to show me some stuff I have not been taught and is outside the training syllabus. Things that may well save my life
