N20938, IFR ship. Practice area 4, shared with R22 N7031G as listed below. Dual flight, w. foggles for majority of flight time. Heading tracking and scanning. Rate 1 turns. Steep turns. IFR Autorotation entrance (wind @ 040, heading 180, mistake turning right misjudging wind as coming from 360). Attempted a GPS Approach to runway 09 back to KTIX but was unable to establish communication with Orlando Approach for vectors.

And a minor rave: Damn I hate those old E2 compasses. And I rarely use the term hate, those things really get on my nerve for some reason. I’d prefer…what are they called, those that display the entire 360 dial and spin it so your current heading is on top of the dial, a vertical card compass? If anyone knows please leave a comment.

Edit: VFR flight in the afternoon canceled due to rain and vis.
