My Instrument checkride is set for Sunday and I'm flying every night this week (3 hours hood time needed, mock checkride work and clean up).
Saturday was a great XC, 3 legs MKG-SUS-OXI-MKG. Weather was pretty good, great at 12K and only a few layers around MKG on departure and arrival 8 hours later. I had plenty of time to set up, verify the VOR's and plan for the approaches we used.
Last night we had winds 22018G29. Anything below 2500 and I was getting my Butt handed to me. Bouncing all around. Got to my step down altitudes early and waiting for tower to call the FAF (DME or Radar only) and couldn't hold the +100/-0 for nothing. Kept going 50-75 low because of the turbulence, just trying to stay within a dot of path. Speeds were +15 / -15 at that point. Really got rattled, forgot my VOR checks and overall frustrated.
Any advice on how to handle that? I'm hoping its not like that for my ride, but beyond that, what happens when I'm doing it in real life?
