Well my 6 months stuff expires in two days, so I wrangled my friendly CFII and took the advice of many on the board and decided to do an IPC.
Took off from Green Castle and tracked outbound on a radial from Cedar Rapids to the practice area, once there did some turns, steep turns, slow flight, power off stall recovery, then did some turns to headings partial panel. Then my friendly CFII set me up with an intersection hold, partial panel. I figured out the entry and got set up pretty nice, after a couple turns of that we headed to the Iowa City VOR for a VOR/DME 36 approach. It went well, I deviated to the right some on the inbound but got it back and was in decent position at the missed.
After that we got vectors to the ILS 27 and i got my vacuum instruments back. Took advantage of the wing leveler in this 172 to get the approach plate switched and brief myself. Rode it down perfectly, then went missed and vectors back around for the VOR 27. That also went well, timed to the missed came out a little short of the runway, but all in all was a good flight. Went missed from that, turned south and headed back to green castle. Got to take off Foggles!
Made a nice landing, and shut down with 1.7. Got signed off for IPC and finished up my 1st phase of wings program.
