I have started my IFR journey.
I did hood work all the way from KFTW to KTPL and back. Using the ILS to RW34.
I looked up only 2 or 3 times in 2+ hours of flying. Which took the fun out of my usual flying. However, the scanning and focus it took was challenging and equally as fun as looking outside to the world down below.
It was different for me trying to maintain the glidescope and localizer, I found myself concentrating on one or the other, luckily my coach and safety pilot kept me on track. I'm exited because I tried the ILS once around 15total hours (115 now) and it was extremely difficult and now it seems easier and I know I'll get better with practice.
Now the ifr written might be a different story.
