Pre-takeoff checklist
I had my first Inst. training flight today in a airplane. The first approch was the LOC/DME BC 13 at DBQ. I knew about reverse sensing and was prepaired for it but I couldn't get over how much it screwed with my head during the approach. I only had HSI's with a RMI in the background all through my helicopter training in the Army. The only time I used a OBS is in the airplane which my experience is limited. Even turning the HSI "upside down" isn't required in the Blackhawk because it has a BC button. I read stories of people "stepping up" to HSI's but in my little experience it's also hard to "step down". I am aiming at getting my required time (15 hours) and taking the checkride. I know I'll get over it...just thought someone out there might like my little story.
