Day 15 - First IFR X-Country

We requested a tower enroute IFR flight to Hemet Ryan Airport (KHMT). Hemet is over 50 NM from Montgomery Field and therefore counts as a cross country flight. As seen on the flight overview picture, we cancelled our IFR flight plan just inland and requested VFR flight following for the remainder of the flight. Seeing as this was an IFR training flight, I got to wear my instrument glasses (http://www.blockalls.com/.) For those of you that don’t know, these limit my vision to the cockpit instruments and simulate flying in the clouds or IMC, I log this time. The GPS approach into Hemet-Ryan Airport was my first official approach in a Twin-Engine Aircraft. After departing Hemet, William, my instructor acted as ATC and “barked” out orders. We also had flight following, so the “real” ATC was handing out vectors as we approached class Bravo around San Diego. We shot the ILS 28R approach into Montgomery.
