Line Up and Wait
I'm allowed to fly in them, all by myself, as of yesterday morning.
The oral went very well. The first part of the flight portion also went very well - departure, vectors, climbs and descents, tracking a VOR inbound and outbound, course reversal, unusual attitudes. Then the DME arc I started to get a bit behind things, and I came very near to a bust transitioning from that to my first approach (the MMK VOR-36). I got that sorted out, not without some language inappropriate for this forum, flew the rest of the approach okay, got cut off on final by some else who hadn't been announcing on the CTAF until his turn to final, flew the missed, then went back to New Haven. Flew the partial panel VOR-A into New Haven with no more than about a dot-and-a-half deflection, and that only when I was changing altitudes and getting different winds. Turned outbound, flew the full ILS-2 and landed.
Not a perfect performance, but damn if I didn't keep those needles centered on the ILS.
