We spent four hours in the sim. It flew by, not really sure why. Was I actually enjoying it...no that can't be.
We then departed on my second IFR cross country flight and shot the following instrument approaches:
- VOR-A into Oceanside Airport [KOKB] (Went Missed)
- GPS RWY 5 into Hemet-Ryan Airport [KHMT] (we landed here to justify a cross country flight, seeing as it is over 50NM from Montgomery)
- ILS DME RWY 28R Montgomery [KMYF] - We circled north to rwy 23.
This was a new airplane to both my instructor and I. N572AT, It was flown in earlier last week by some cross country students and exchanged for N263AT. Well, the DG was having some major precession issues. It would be 15 degrees off in less than 5 minutes, this was in slave mode. Anyhow, this forced me to fly off the old magnetic compass as I took orders from ATC.
It was busy up there today. We requested towerenroute and ATC was non-stop chatter. A little overwhelming for my second IFR flight, but nonetheless fun.
