IFR Lesson 5 - Since I Lost My Baby
The DA-40 is still down. Shit. Time for an executive decision.
Me: Let's train in the DA-20 with the hood. The sim is great, but I really need flight time.
CFII: Yeah, I know. That'll work as long as we have VFR weather. Problem is it's booked today.
Me: Grrr.
In the back of my mind, I'm thinking the DA-40 might still come up in the near future, but if not I'll see about flying the school's Piper Arrow. It's the only other IFR certified airplane they have. I think my time in the Seminole will translate nicely to it, so the transition doesn't worry me.
We do head over to the sim and fly a few approaches, including my first SDF into Tullahoma (nicked "Dullahoma" by the locals). A DME arc with a failed DG later and I'm ready to call it a day.
Next lesson ought to involve me leaving the ground. That will be a welcome change.
