The ride, appproaches

For those who enjoyed following along on my flight test, these are the approaches I shot on the checkride.

For God's sake be careful up there, there's a Choo Choo on the VOR APP !!

What I really need to try sometime is come down and shot some approached into PDK during rush hour...

Bill,
Did you fly the arc ? If so, did you have DME ? Great job. I wish I was up there with you.

Nah, you've already got the "keep your speed up" part down . The rest would just be flying a bunch of vectors.

Come a little further to 9A1 and say hi. All the flight schools at PDK do. (and we've got a NDB if you really enjoy those things.)

After the holidays, I'll drop you a line...sounds like fun.

Yes, we did the arc, and yes, we have DME. I like the little Skyhawk, nothing fancy in this one, but solid "traditional" IFR equipment.

When I can get my hands on it and the II, I'm going to go up in the Archer III and learn GPS approaches and autopilot coupled approaches. (It has 430's and an S-Tec 55x) Nice "new" IFR equipment.

Coupled approaches are good... I presume that your "little hawk" didn't have a coupled autopilot so you didn't have to fly one for your checkride. I did my IR checkride 2 days before that became a part of the standard.

Right, I could choose coupled approaches and GPS or ADF. I chose ADF approaches, go figure!
