It certainly does, especially since UND should give an instrument rating after 222, but that is another story. Now to put it to good use at Cape!Congrats. Doesn't it feel good to be finally instrument rated?
you don't meet the requirements for the IR after 222, thats why
You are correct. I do wish there was some sort of instrument lesson in 323 though, just to refresh instruments before getting in the SEMI, I know a lot of people that are having trouble with their IFR stuff because they spent a year in between instrument work.
that requires study on your own time, but since everyone just wants it given to them they won't put in the work required.
just stating my case as an example, no one seems to want to take responsibilty for their actions.
Sorry man, but I disagree with you on this one. Reading a textbook from cover to cover will not get you proficient at hand-flying approaches. I'm glad, in your case, you only needed the minimums for the course. However, reading a book from cover to cover keeps you proficient at reading, not hand flying.that requires study on your own time, but since everyone just wants it given to them they won't put in the work required.
for me, when i was getting back in to IFR stuff for 325 it had been over a year, like 16 months or so. how did i get back into it? i bought the Instrument Procedures Handbook and read it cover to cover, then i read the AIM, and the IFH. and guess what? i got thru 325 at .4 hours over the required times and that includes the stage check.
i am not saying you act like everyone else seems to, so don't take it that way
now we could give out the IFR certs after 222 like CKN does, but it does required building additional XC time, we can't based on the TCO, but it could be theoretically possible.
anyway, enough ranting, congrats again, enjoy your new cert and good luck with the Cape Air thing!
