First solo instrument flight with IMC rating. Hand flying in hard IMC in a Cessna 182 inc mistakes

This is what you can do if you're a PPL holder and you get your IMC rating. This was a challenging but enjoyable flight. Pushing myself in the deep end for faster learning.

Hand flying it in hard IMC was challenging. It got away from me briefly in the climb at 14m30s you'll see the VSI suddenly drops as I unintentionally bank right into a spiral dive, but notice and recover within a few seconds.

Being VFR on top is always magical. But the cloud cover was solid and I had to use the ILS approach to RWY 26 at Exeter to break the cloud before I could return to Dunkeswell.

I don't seek any promotion of my personal vlog channel, it's a family video diary, but if you'd like to support me, I'd be grateful if you followed my other channel, Moving Home with Charlie, which is where I'm working on finding an end to homelessness.
