Instruments

No solo today. I flew another instrument sortie today, since the crosswinds were out of limits. The flight went pretty well, I was able to accomplish almost everything I was supposed to, with my IP helping out with a few nonstandard frequencies and radio calls. I flew 'glorious' instrument maneuvers in the area too. The back seat is still weird and even weirder when you're wearing the little hood that restricts your vision to simulate instrument conditions. I flew with an IP I hadn't flown with yet, and found out he's a really good IP and a good dude. Almost a day off tomorrow - no flying, just an instrument sim.

Sidenote: The flight leadership took me off CAP today - a good sign.

U => CAP

I hooked another ride today. They put me on CAP. My old buddy CAP. I'm going to see the Aviation Psych Doc tomorrow. Maybe he has some gold nuggets of knowledge for me. Maybe not, but at least I will have tried it.

Flying was pretty awesome today. I got some instrument time today. We took off straight into the clouds and then broke up above them for the area work. Clouds below you is a great view!
