Flew an instrument proficiency flight yesterday evening. The flight went very well, and I actually feel current and confident to fly some actual IMC where an approach is required to get back down. I knew after my IPC, I could have done it, but felt quite rusty. Not where I want to be now, but feel pretty good.
I went up to KLNS to shoot a couple of approaches. First was the RNAV (GPS) Runway 31. It started as a LPV approach, but between the IAF and FAF I lost the GPS lock, and when it came back after a few seconds, I had no vertical guidance, so I switched to LNAV minimums and completed the approach.
Went around to the ILS Runway 8. Nailed the GS all the way down, and bit of weaving around the localizer, but part of that was the DG is getting to need to be overhauled, as it was precessing a bit. After the flight, the safety pilot commented he was watching the visual approach slope, and thought to himself that most people he had flown with did not hold the approach slope that well when VFR.![Big Grin](https://dev.avsig.com/core/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
Back to 0W3 and shot the RNAV (GPS) B to a circle to land.
1.3 total time, 1.1 under the hood.
And to top it off, it was a CAP funded flight.![Big Grin](https://dev.avsig.com/core/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
