Highlights: IGS, sim, closets

This morning was eaten up by a painfully long instrument ground school (IGS) class, followed by 2 hours in the sim with Maj Greg “Moses” Lovett. IGS is an annual requirement to refresh us on all the rules of instrument flying. There is a laundry list of acceptable flight requirements about things such as: weather and visibility, fuel on board, alternate airfield plans, airspace use and coordinating agencies, international flight rules and how to find out if military aircraft are allowed to land somewhere before you get there… etc. All this, followed by a test.

Getting out of the classroom & back into the sim was good. Whew. my head was hurting. Big picture stuff, I remember; but the details are like cuts from a thousand knives. You have to look up exact wording in 9 different publications.

Came home & painted 2 closets (getting ready to install the new shelves)
