Well, not quite back in the air....
The weather just isn't cooperating, but on the up side, I have finished my pre-solo written exam (both the exam my instructor uses, and that in the The Complete Private Pilot), have become very good at weight & balance and performance calculations, getting to know my sectional, and logged .7hrs in a simulator.
Today's lesson, as has been the case for a few now, was limited to the ground due to the weather. This time though, my instructor thought it may be worth the time to get on the simulator to practice some VFR into IMC. After a few minutes I was able to maintain straight and level flight, and make some okay standard turns, climbs, and descents, but even sitting in a warm stationary building, this was surprisingly difficult. There are 6 primary intruments, (attitude indicator, turn coordinator, heading indicator, altimeter, vertical speed indicator, and airspeed indicator) and making an adjustment to correct something effects all in some way, so its the ulimate in multitasking. It was definitely better than staring wishfully out the window at the fog.
My next lesson is scheduled for Sunday, if the weather will just help me out a little....
