Hello Community, I will be starting my IR training soon and this will be tracking thread. I will be posting all updates on this thread so keep checking back on this post.
First, I will hopefully be flying in N7005Q which is a Cessna 172L. It is based at North Little Rock Municipal Airport (KORK) which is in Little Rocks Class C airspace.
First Update: Going flying with my instrument rated friend in the Cessna 172 i always fly (N51694F). This is for too meet one of the hour requirements for the IR rating. We will be doing Simulated Instrument Approaches as he acts as my safety pilot.
For a starry pilot, they just need to be able to be able to fly the aircraft and hold a pilots license. As long as it’s a pilot, it shouldn’t matter. The 2 pilots are allowed to log the time but the pilot under the hood must have the safety pilot sign his name
Flew with my Insturment Rated Pilot Friend. Did three approaches that i felt went good. I think IFR flying is totally bringing up my flying confidence. Made the most out of the flight with 3.1 total flight time and 2.1 logged in the book. Friend decided too take his girlfriend with us as compared this was her second time in a GA airplane she handled it like a champ with the light turbulence and moderate chop as well as gusty winds. Did an ILS into our big Class C airport which was busy. than a localizer approach into Rw 8 at KBVX and than the RNAV to RW.19 back home,
Update 1.1
March 30,2018, my birthday.! My buddy was in town from college for Easter Sunday! Flew for a solid hour and a half and did 3 ILS and 1 RNAV approach with 2 landings! Had a CFI-I call me a few weeks ago and have yet to call me to set up a time
