Hello everyone,

I had a similar post a couple pages earlier regarding the private pilıot checkride. Now I have a problem with the Intrument Rating checkride.

As instructed I make the VOR approach and perform a Mİssed approach and head back to the Seattle Vor. There, at 3000 feet, I adjust the OBS to 320 heading to fly the 140 radial to fly outbound from the VOR to intercept the ILS localizer for the Boeing field.(12.3 miles away from the Seattle VOR) As indicated in the chart I never descend below 2200 feet and fly at 3000 feet. HOwever, just about 1-3 mlies outbound from the VOR the ride stops and I fail. What coud I possibly have done wrong?

Are these checkrides a complete waste of time or should I start feeling incompetent? I do EVERYTHING by the book and always fly according to the charts.

Thanks for the help,I appreciate it.
