Real approach into bare minimums

Sounds like you gained some very good experience there. It's nice to hear there are pilots in training that are flying in IMC and shooting approaches to mins. Thats the best training and will serve you well down the road. Although some instructors don't believe in going down to mins I have always been one to take advantage of good training conditions (bad WX) to experience a broad range of scenarios. Just dont let your experiences in IMC and approaches to mins make you become complacent. As you know, its always serious business. Good job!
 
Good job Angel!

I have amassed 22 hours of hood time in the last 12 days. Finally managed to actually find clouds to fly through the other night and get .5 of some VERY turbulent actual. After that experience, I told my instructor we need to go find somewhere to shoot approaches in actual IMC. I refuse to go for my checkride until we have done that.
 
Great experience!

There are very things more gratifying than shooting an approach down to minimums to a nice smooth landing. The experience will come in handy when teaching.
 
Great experience indeed.

My first approach in actual was an RNAV GPS into Athens GA, RWY9. Wasn't near 600cig, or .6mile vis, but hey - it was much different than being "under the hood."
 
Nice story Angel. I'm looking forward to flying some approaches like that, now that I'm doing my instrument training.
 
Up here in oregon I did most of my ifr training in actual. I thought it was all good fun. it really taught me a lot and I would reccomend some actual for any one. I was even able to practice single engine approaches in the seminole in actual.
