The weather kept us grounded, so I had ground school with Alex. Nothing exciting. Primary and secondary instruments for various maneuvers, traditional vacuum and electric systems (the DA40 is all electric, of course), and how to identify which instruments have failed when they disagree. Alex then walked me through the instrument training syllabus and pointed out each section of the Jepp book corresponding to each part of the instrument training.
The weather will probably ground me tomorrow, so I’ll curl up with the Rod Machado and Jepp instrument books and start reading in earnest. I’m interested in the King DVDs, as everyone recommends them (the readers of this blog included!), so they may be in my future.
And just to set expectations, I don’t plan to rush myself through the instrument training—my bank account can’t sustain it!

Hello fellow Midway Aviator! ...and fellow blogger...
(I also rent the Diamonds at MDW, when I'm not flying with CAP.)
I'm also working on my Instrument Ticket now. I've got some of the flying under my belt now, and so I'm pretty close to taking my Instrument Written Test.
During my test prep, I came across this site, which allows you to take practice test online for free:

I hope you find it useful.
I transitioned to the G1K last year and have a blast flying with family and friends in it.
The Max Trescott book is excellent! Good choice.
If you ever want a Safety Pilot to flyt Right Seat, all you have to do is ask.
Cheers!
