The introduction into IFR flying begins with a very relaxed and exciting week full of and new experiences. You'll be flying under the hood quite a bit but you'll be flying further than typical and to new places which is always exciting. You'll be extremely overwhelmed trying to copy down IFR clearances this week and you'll see how busy a cockpit gets during an IFR arrival. However, you'll be spending a lot of time at cruise where you'll be discussing basic IFR flight information.
