Mark,

I just wanted to let you know that I passed my instrument rating checkride on March 12th. The ride went pretty well, despite it being a turbulent, windy day.

I found our simulator sessions to be both fun and very helpful in mastering the basics of instrument flight. Thank you very much for your assistance to me in getting this rating. I'm sure I'll be back from time to time for proficiency training.
