Post #3 - Thats more like it!
Flew to Ogden again today. I invited my friend Trevor to go with me. I feel kind of bad though because we flew a GPS approach and it took us way out west of ogden over The Great Salt Lake, and there isn't very much to see out there. It wasn't a very scenic flight for him. But I think he had fun, none the less. We first flew the GPS then the ILS. Both were partial panel. I feel more comfortable flying approaches partial panel now, but there is definitely room for improvement. Every now and then I slightly omit a certain instrument and get slightly off course or may be 80-100 ft off altitude, but I catch the mistake and correct for it. There is a lot remember and a lot going on during instrument flights. I can imagine how difficult it would be during actual IMC and rough weather. After the two approaches in Ogden we went back to Logan on the GPS 35 approach and landed with no problems. This flight was more normal than the last one, no near mid-air collisions and no close calls with birds. It's nice when flying, but not as interesting to write about. Sorry.
