Just resurrecting this cobweb-covered thread to record the happy news that I finished my IMC today with a successful flight test.

My preparation for this great event was to take a PA28 to a microlight rally, dine on a fine steak tartare, spend the night in a tent on the grass at Abbeville and then fly back for a spot of last minute revision before the test this afternoon. It seemed to do the trick.

The test involved tracking out of Lydd up to Detling, then in on the SND NDB to Southend, once round the hold, then an NDB approach to 06 in a rather stiff wind before the examiner had a bit of fun giving me various full and partial panel recoveries etc.

All-in-all a fairly intense hour-and-a-half, but, like banging your head against the wall, it was nice when it was over!

I know from other postings that FFF finished his a while ago - how is the rest of the Class of '03 getting on?

I had a very good instructor, but RANT and the IMC Confuser came in pretty handy too!
