Im CSEL rated and about to go to a week long fast track school to get my instrument rating. I have about 80-100 hours in the 182T I’ll be flying for the training, and it’s equipped with G1000s (no WAAS).
Anyone here taken an instrument checkride with G1000s that can shed some light on how the flight portion will go? How do they do partial panel? Do you think I’m biting off more than I can chew going from 3,000 hrs of six pack flying to G1000 for my instrument training, and trying to get it done in a week or so?

Like I said, I have about 80 or so hours in this airplane but haven’t flown it (or with G1000s) in about 2 years, and I didn’t ever learn the G1000s that in depth. Just enough for a few cross countries in basic VFR.

Let me kick this off with, I’m a new young homeowner with absolutely ZERO knowledge in the electrical field so.. I’m not even sure what information to share.

My general issue I have going on: every so often I lose partial power to my house. Typically it’s proceeded by me using too many appliances. But tonight for example, I was watching TV and lost power to half of the house. No breakers are tripped, tried to reset the ones that go to the areas of the house we lost power to, but it did nothing. Before we lost power to the kitchen and part of the basement, those areas had dim and flickering lights.

The house is 100 years old, not a clue when the electrical was upgraded but probably in the 60s-70s. The previous owner tied in new wiring to the old wiring to wire the basement.

Any clue what could’ve caused the partial power loss with no breakers tripped ?
