Thanks, thats a very nice tool. I will be getting this for my XPX.

It is possible to self-teach IFR, but a more traditional approach would be to start working with an instructor and go through the ground school. You can then augment what you're learning with practice sessions in the simulator.I taught myself IFR through self-study after completing my PPL. When I went to start my r/w IFR training, I found there was almost nothing that I had to un-learn and the instructor was happy with the outcome.I'm also the developer of the ZLA Pilot Cert program, which is available here on VATSIM and here on PilotEdge.Once you are satisfied with your ability to track courses and shoot approaches, it's a good idea to move your practice to a live environment that includes ATC and traffic. Handling the radio and building situational awareness is a huge part of the practical side of flying IFR. Even if you've already mastered basic radio communications, the extra workload of dealing with ATC can be a useful component of your proficiency regimen.

I have nothing valuable to add, short term memory loss due to meds doesn`t help. But I would sincerely like to congratulate you on your recent PPL pass. Well done and I hope you enjoy it more and more in the future. You`ll no doubt remember that day with much pride, as you should. Good luck and enjoy,Steve
