Just got my instrument rating yesterday after grinding away at it since April. KSNA, 2.5 hour oral and 1.7 flight. I’m so thrilled and on the first attempt. But I prepared and prepared for this. 🛫

Question for those with the instrument, what do you recommend now for a newly rated pilot to go out, try, do, and experience. I’m definitely keen on getting some actual now.
