My definition of instrument flying is "constant but smooth recovery from error!". Remember there is no speed limit on instrument scan rate. Keep your nose up in the turns! Dale, 43 days and a wake-up until retirement (the age 60 rule). -----Original Message----- >From: David Davenport >Sent: Jan 15, 2007 8:35 PM >To: rvsoutheast-list@matronics.com >Subject: Re: RVSouthEast-List: Instrument rating > >Bert, a couple of opinions come to mind here. First, if you have the basic stick and rudder skills to do IFR levels of precision flying, then the RV's are easy airplanes to fly IFR. The caveat comes with the concept that they must be flown pretty much 100% of the time. If all you have to do is fly a simple ILS, then these airplanes are easy to fly at a wonderfully precise level. That's what makes these airplanes such good formation airplanes, but any formation pilot will tell you that the workload meter is pretty well pegged while flying in a tight group. Same goes for the IFR environment. >The first time you get a change in your routing from center and have to find an intersection on a chart that you have no idea how to spell, your nice quick little bird will wander away from you. A good autopilot takes all these concerns away, but make sure you have at least altitude hold on it. I have flown my -6 in a fair amount of IFR, have shot a couple of approaches down to true minimums, and the plane will absolutely do it. Just understand that the approach is ALL you will be able to do. You'll have time or attention span available for little else. That said, go find a good CFII & go for it. There's not a single rating out there that will advance your flying skills more than an instrument rating. Have fun! > >David Davenport >RV-6 285 Hours > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Bert Murillo > To: rvsoutheast-list@matronics.com > Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2007 12:37 PM > Subject: RVSouthEast-List: Instrument rating > > > Hi: > > > What is the opinion of the list, as to, getting IFR rating using my RV6a...

Before starting Legends, he used to work at a major completion shop in the Region. Feel free to tell him that I also "sent 'cha".
