Today was my first IFR XC, we flew from Daytona to Kissimmee, FL.It was all well planned, the flight plan, the weather, all by the book. All the calculations, everything was there - until I heard the expected IFR clearance "You are cleared direct to KISM, expect radar vectors". Damn it! After meticulously filling the flight plan form, spending more than 1 hour using the E6-B 1000 times, thinking about headings and wind corrections.... all to the waste bin :))
The flight itself was gorgeous, not IFR all the way, but there were some clouds and some pretty bad haze on the way back. Flying the glass is such a joy.... autopilot ON, and the camera starts looking for good shots. We flew over Disney World, but I couldn't really identify any roller coaster :)
Next XC is going to be looooong, I am going to Tallahassee - that's almost 5 hours both ways!!
Enjoy the pics...
