Simulator and Paperwork...

Today was another day filled with FAR/AIM studies broken up by an awesome session in the simulator and some paperwork for my second try at the Instrument rating test with Joe.   I was extremely happy with my simulator flight, not perfect but it was great. I nailed the VOR A approach in Oceanside, the GPS in Carlsbad and the single engine ILS into Montgomery was great, overall Dane and I were happy.    Dane and I reviewed my new flight plan to Santa Maria that Joe asked for and he signed off my remedial training for the re-ride as required by 61.49 .   So this evening was spent trying to relax and having a nice diner.  Hopefully I'll get a good nights rest.  Good night..

FAR Review and Studying..

So with my oral exam failure I was concerned I had missed more then Joe had pointed out and found so I dug into the FAR's heavily the last few days.  Still confident in my flying skills I focused on my knowledge of the instrument flying regulations.  My studies were mostly confined to the actual FAR/AIM and Everything Explained for the Professional Pilot (much easier and funnier reading!).   I believe I had a greater understanding of the rules and regulations, though I would have learned the lesson another way, it was still valuable and I know I'll be a better pilot for it.  Thanks Joe!
Since I haven't flown for a few days Dane is going to put me thru my paces in the sim tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it!
