This session under the hood finished up my instrument requirements for private. I was expecting it to be hard or uncomfortable, but it really wasn't. At the end, Zach proposed an interesting game. He had a name for it, which I've forgotten. The object was to keep the plane rolling in successive 180º standard-rate right and left turns, and at the same time keep yo-yo-ing from ascent to descent between 3,000 and 3,500 feet. Of course, these changes don't happen at the same time (or sometimes they do) and you definitely have to multitask. Cool.

I wanted to finish the instrument work with Zach, which worked well. I expect I'll do the rest of the cross-country and night flying with Todd. After that, it's review for check ride. I'm studying for the oral with Peter, and I'll probably do the review with Todd.
