So I was asking some questions in the http://forums.jetcareers.com/threads/instrument-training.205891/#post-2329769 and I did some minor thread-jacking there about asking some IFR questions.
I've got a copy of X-plane and I'd like to do some self-study on IFR flying before I start engaging with a local CFII. But, knowing so little about it, I'd like to make sure I'm using the tool correctly. I know a number of you sometimes use this with students, so I'd like to know how you do it. (I like X-plane because it runs well on my Mac, and it has some good options for failing instruments.)
What kind of scenarios do you establish? How do you execute the scenario and then grade it? (That may be a "use your CFI question.")
I know there's a book or two for CFIs who use MSFS to teach. Would that make sense for me to obtain?
I'd just like to be able to dive into the minutiae to help prepare myself for not only taking the written, but keenly understanding the material. This strikes me as a good way, given that I'm the sort who needs "blended" learning environments.
