Yesterdays lesson was a good one. Hoodwork. Before take off I asked my CFI if he wanted to continue the lesson because the weather was getting kinda crappy. He said he wanted to continue.
We take off and I climb to 2000 feet my CFI tells me to put on the foggles. "Climb to 2500 ft., turn to a heading of east." Do this, do that.
Everynow & then when I went to scan my turn coordinator I could see a little bit of ground. The next time I did the scan to my turn coordinator I didn't seen any ground. We were in actual IFR conditions. Right after that I heard my CFI say "We need to head back we are in the clouds right now." I lifted up the foggles a little to see what it was like and it was awesome.
My CFI knew I wasn't cheating on my scan because we were in actual IFR conditions. Why people peak during this training is beyond me. As I am thinking it could save their life one day.
The only other time that I had been in the clouds in a GA aircraft was when I flew to Mark & Tom when we went to Ocrakoke back in January.
At the rate I am going I just may be instrument rated before I get my private. Jokingly of course.
What a great lesson.
