IFR flight test passed!
I have a new IFR endorsement on my license and all it has done so far is to make me aware of how much I have yet to learn.

Congrats!
Congratulations! I still believe that is one of the hardest ratings to obtain and maintain, but oh so worth it.
Have fun in the murk!
Good on you!

Congratulations Tom. That ticket will enable you to go to many events that you could not go to, VFR only. Often, there's soup between your departure point and the arrival point....especially in places like the US and Canada, with so many miles of real estate.
If you'll get in the habit of filing IFR, even on clear days, the whole system will become that much easier to navigate.
Congrats,

Good job!
It is a lot of work but worth it. I love being pushed hard but I actually considered the IFR training WORK.

Congrats, this is certainly a mile stone.
Lately we have been flying to one of our favorite destination that without IFR ticket would not have been possible. I am truly enjoying it and happy that I perused it.
