Instrument

April to June was an absolute blur. During that time I was working on my instrument rating. It is considered by most pilots as the most difficult rating to attain in ones flying career. All of the flying that we do is done only be looking at the instruments on our dash without looking outside for any reference. As grueling as it was, it has made me a much better pilot. It refines your airmanship, flight control and confidence as you gain a greater appreciation and knowledge of the resources that are available to you both in and outside the cockpit to help you complete your flight safely. Every once in a while we would sneak a peak when we escaped the clouds and the view was always impressive.
