Independent Task #2 Preperation

Independent Task #2

1. I will be doing for things for my independent task,
  1. Flying for hours
  2. Ground School with an instructor
  3. Flight with an instructor
  4. Flying IFR on my Microsoft Flight Simulator
2. I will be able to verify these four tasks by using my logging hours in my logbook and I will be logging my flight simulator hours with microsoft word chart.

3. These relate to my EQ because I am learning on the major reasons on getting an instrument rating. I am experiencing it as I go along.

Through all this flight time, I have gained better precision skills and have gained better situational awareness.

TOTAL Independent Study Time to Date: 87.7 Hours

Applied: This helped me better understand my EQ by giving me a whole new perspective on an EQ. I better understand that safety and practice are very essential.
