Thanks for the tips folks.... I especially like the tip from Cubdriver about the markers on instruments. I did a flight today IFR from North County F45 to Boca KBCT, Pompano KPMP, then back to North County. RNAV 05 BCT, LOC PMP, Full ILS with procedure turn and published missed F45.
Felt comfortable, & I think passable for a checkride, but I still know my performance would have been better in the L seat... I just can't see the damn HSI very well from the R side so it's difficult to read the headings. What I was doing was leaning way over, setting the bug, then using the bug. It was just a bit cumbersome on an approach with shifting winds...
On landing, I have no problem with the flare from the R seat, but I still have to force myself to keep the nose from pointing too far to the Right.. That is getting easier, but I think the instrument stuff will never be fully comfortable from the R seat just because I can't read the DG/HSI & Attitude Indicator well..
No trouble reading the Altimiter, VSI, Airspeed, or TC though..
Anybody in S Fla want to be a safety pilot for me tomorrow?
