Tonight's flight was very local, as there were big piles of precipitating clouds lurking in the hazy skies. RNAV GPS 24 approach into Ann Arbor (KARB), then vectors for the ILS 23L at Willow Run (KYIP) this one flown with the attitude indicator "FAILED"... then more vectors for a simulated "NO GYRO" (DG failed) VOR-A approach at Willow to a full stop. Grueling, punishing, rapid fire approaches, but all very worth it and humbling.
Passed my instrument written exam yesterday with a 90% score. Have a cross country planned for Sunday which should take care of my remaining required hours of simulated/actual.
Soon we will be talking oral/flight test!

Congrats!
I just found your blog today and it looks like we are on very similar timelines for our instrument ratings( mine in Canada). I got a 92 on the instrument written on friday AM and am going to do my IFR XC trips next weekend in the Seneca II. After that, its Multi Flight Test!
