I need more practice...

So after many weeks of crappy weather, I was finally able to get out flying today. Apple Valley got a new restaurant on the field; their other one closed a while ago. I read from a bunch of other pilots that they have really good BBQ so that was enough reason for the trip. The flight was smooth and the food was great.

To try to knock the rust of my instrument flying skills, I decided to shoot some approaches on the way there and back. I did the ILS into Victorville on the way there and the ILS into Palmdale and the VOR into Watsonville on the way back. I did a poor job on all of the approaches and really need to keep practicing so I can mentally get ahead of the airplane. Not too surprising though, I did say I had rust on my IFR skills...
