This is some photos from my commercial time-building.
I did a total of 3 trips, FPR-TEB-FPR-MKE-FPR-NEW. One in the Cherokee, the other one's in the Duchess .
Learned a lot, being a fresh new instrument pilot, and multi engine pilot it was challenging at times. You don't get much IMC time down in Florida, but on these trips we got plenty. First time encountering IMC at night in rain in a single engine aircraft was no fun, but good experience.
We got into Wake turbulence behind an A300 at KMDT, that was interesting, follow what the book said, and made it fine.
Got into some embedded isolated areas of precipitation that ATC warned us about once we were already in. Very turbulent , but kept the aircraft right side up , and learned a lot from that too.
Shot two approaches down to minimums, one at KFAY broke out right at minimums of the GPS 05, and the other one at KACY when low laying fog took over the area. This made me feel like a full blown real pilot. It definitely was a great experience.
Anyways too much talking on to the pictures.
Must have shot from Multi Engine training!
Saw nothing but clouds for 4 hours.

Nothing like holding short in 94 degree weather
