I assessed my personal condition and noted I was tired, but a short flight and get-home-it-is grabbed me (mistake #3). The Flight Plan I filed an IFR flight plan, KAZO-GIJ-OXI-MAPPS-EON-JOT-ILS2L-KDPA, then VFR to my homebase, 06C. As I crossed the runway threshold, it was solid IMC and I had to go missed.

My IFR flight plan called for a climb through some 4,000′ of clouds up to a cruise altitude of 7,000 feet.

An Instrument Rating is an FAA certification that allows you to fly under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). Flight canceled. Youll be able to file an IFR flight plan and safely depart, fly through, and arrive in conditions that would otherwise ground a VFR-only pilot. A layer of clouds at 1,800 feet? A busy Class B airport?

These flights work best if they are limited to an airport 10 to 15 miles away. VFR to MVFR…then 2 miles visibility and a ceiling of 1,200 feet agl. Next, introduce the VOR. Have them use the VOR to determine what radial they are on, and if the unit has DME, show you where they are on a sectional. Keep it realistic.
