The study breaks to go to downtown Pensacola for beers and schnitzel with the guys are actually necessary so you don’t go insane while looking at the low IFR chart of the local area (I’m just going to plan another few flights to Mobile and Stennis again)I agree with the above. Instrument knowledge is great and can help you but anything besides that not worth it. If you work hard during primary (and study beforehand in the pool) you’ll be fine.
