Cleared for Takeoff
Can you guys recommend some downloadable materials or websites for how to read approach plates and some basic intro to IFR?
I'm scheduled to take an intro lesson next Wednesday for some ground school and maybe some sim time if I'm able, but would like to read up a little before hand. This is just for me to become situationally aware in the IFR environment when flying a long XC this summer to Gastons with an IR rated pilot. This way I can be aware of what is going on, and help out as well if needed.
I'm hoping to take a few hours on the ground/sim, and maybe an actual flight under the hood to see it work in the air over the next few months, we'll see. Currently, I have 12 hrs XC since my PP, so a little more to go and a lot of saving $$$ till I jump in completely for the rating.
