Well today wasn't too exciting. I spent 95% of the day continuing my studying for my instrument rating written tests. The written tests are based from the FAA's Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) and the Airman's Information Manual (AIM). These wonderful books known as the FAR/AIM have loads of great useful information, but like most government documents lack that attention grabbing pzazz needed to keep the students attention. Borrowing from my study technique used for my private pilot written, I'm using computer programs. For me a major portion of being successful at taking the FAA's written tests is studying for the test not knowledge needed for real world flying unfortunately.
So I'm using a combination of Sporty's Study buddy (downloaded from Itunes) and ASA's study program (provided by ATP at school) for the test. These programs allow me to spend my time going thru the 900 question deep bank. This has been my world the last few days, and will be the next couple. I need to take the tests by the end of the week before drill weekend. On the positive side, my efforts will allow me to take three instrument related tests in one day, instrument rating (IRA), Instrument Ground Instructor rating (IGI), and the Flight instructor instrument (FII). A little bit of my evening was spent flying on the simulator (FS) working on my scanning skills that has hampered my ILS flying skills. Well enough for now.. For those following, I'll get caught on the missing days soon. Thanks for following along
