This weekend at ATP

There were clear skies on the forecast for Saturday and Sunday. A cold front was coming from the NW on Saturday afternoon and gust winds were expected that day.
On Saturday I arrived and preflight N21228 for an IFR XC to Washington, GA (KIIY). We were going to practice the VOR/DME RWY13 which is an arc around AHN VOR and then do a couple of holds around RAYLE after going missed.
I remember my last cross country just a couple of weeks ago to Meridian, MS being bumpy but this one, holy cow, it definitely felt like a boat on the sea. The Seminole moved from side to side and I was wearing the foggles so when we were going back to KPDK I had terrible motion sickness. It really felt bad, I got home and had to go to bed.. slept for an hour and when I woke up again, the headache didn't go away. I had to use my mom's advise for severe headache which works flawlessly. Went to the bathroom and vomit and like magic, the headache disappeared!! :D
I was ready for next day..I was scheduled to be at 1:30 pm but my instructor sent me a text message early in the morning letting me know that that his other student cancelled on him if I wanted to fly early. I knew that we had calm winds and they were going to pick up in the afternoon so I decided to get there early.
It was lesson 2-3, ATP has a very structured program which I like. It has its lessons designed so you can fill the requirements for your licenses and go step by step into getting the knowledge you need for your checkride. There is a lot of self study, probably 95% but If I have a question about something I can go and ask my instructor for explanation. ATP has also a different scenarios for the sim, which I think is pretty cool.
So this sunday air was smooth and we went to Rome, GA for a VOR/DME Rwy 1 approach and an ILS approach. The instructor killed my engine on the ILS and it caught me off guard, the CDI went all the way to the left so If this was a checkride I would have failed. I must be alert for ILS approaches and go full throttle at the first indication of failure. At the end I was able to recover and establish in the Localizer.
Looking forward to this weekend, if the weather is good on sunday we will go to a 300 nm XC to fulfill the requirements for the commercial license, probably to KDAB. Can't wait!!
