I got a lot of private messages asking how the IFR was going in the 7a....
Took my IFR check yesterday, did all the hard stuff perfect, just had one lousy VOR-A approach to do (i.e so easy a 3 year old can do it). Unfortunatly the DE gave me vectors to the outbound leg to make it real simple and I got confused. Turned the wrong way, lost 150 feet when he started complaining and it was all over.
Got back to the ramp dropped off the DE did the paperwork went back outside to find a flat main tire and ground up wheelpant...Took and hour to get the plane back to the hangar, tube is trashed.
OH well 95% of the way there I guess...It won't happen on the retest thats for sure...Tires not withstanding, Michelin Airstops on order.
Cheers and thanks for all the encouragement, this has been a hard road!
