I'm a new instrument student. Part 61. I still need 27 hours of sim or actual IMC and 24 hours of XC. I also still need to complete the long IFR XC. I've already passed the written.
My CFII has agreed to accompany me on a 3-day IFR training trip. We are starting in Nashville (KMQY) and the general idea is to travel to the Space Coast on day one, down to Key West and back north, on day two, then back home on day three. The aircraft is a g1000 equipped C172. My goals are to gain real-life experience in the system, to log towards the time needed for my IR and to have some fun along the way. We don't have to go to Florida, so other destinations are an option.
My initial thought is to fly 3-4 hours in the morning with an approach along the way. Stop for lunch and another 3-4 hours after lunch. Repeat for three days.
I would appreciate advice and suggestions on this trip.
