ALTDEV ALT EXCURSION DURING IAP ILS APCH.

Narrative

I WAS ON MY FIRST SOLO IFR FLT SINCE GETTING MY CERTIFICATE. I WAS FLYING FROM WESTOVER; MA; TO MORRISTOWN; NJ; AND WAS IN IMC FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE FLT. THE FLT HAD GONE SMOOTHLY AND I HAD BEEN CLRED FOR THE ILS RWY 23 APCH INTO MORRISTOWN ARPT. PRIOR TO MY FLT I HAD STUDIED THE PLATE AND TOOK NOTICE OF A NOTE WARNING THAT THE OM FOR CALDWELL ARPT; ABOUT 5 MI TO THE N; MAY BE PICKED UP PRIOR TO THE FINAL APCH FIX FOR THE ILS RWY 23; WHICH IS AN NDB/OM NAMED MOREE. THE APCH CTLR CLRED ME FOR THE APCH AND INSTRUCTED ME TO MAINTAIN 2000 FT UNTIL ESTABLISHED. AS I CONTINUED ON THE LOC; I DID RECEIVE THE CALDWELL OM INDICATION. I IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO DSND AFTER HEARING THE TONE FOR THE OM; COMPLETELY FORGETTING THE NOTE ON THE PLATE. AFTER 30 OR SO SECONDS I REALIZED THAT THE GS WAS NOT PROPERLY INTERCEPTED AND THAT THE ADF WAS STILL INDICATING THAT MOREE WAS AHEAD OF ME. BY THIS TIME I WAS AT 1700 FT MSL AND BEGAN AN IMMEDIATE CLB BACK TO 2000 FT; BUT NOT BEFORE THE CTLR ASKED IF I WAS PROPERLY TRACKING THE LOC AND GS. HE INFORMED ME THAT I WAS NOW 2 MI FROM MOREE AND CLRED ME TO CONTACT THE TWR. I CONTINUED THE APCH AT 2000 FT; INTERCEPTED THE GS AND RPTED MYSELF INBOUND TO THE TWR WHERE A NON-EVENTFUL DSCNT AND LNDG WAS COMPLETED. THIS PROB WAS CAUSED BY BOTH A HUMAN FACTORS AND PROC PROB. MY EXCITEMENT AND ANXIETY ABOUT MY FIRST SOLO FLT IN IMC CAUSED ME TO COMPLETELY FORGET ABOUT THE NOTE ON THE PLATE AND REACT TOO QUICKLY TO A SIT WITHOUT 'PAUSING' TO VERIFY THE INST READINGS; IE; THE OM. IN ADDITION; AN IMMEDIATE XCHK OF THE ADF WOULD HAVE VERIFIED THAT I WAS NOT AT THE FINAL APCH FIX AND A FURTHER DETERMINATION OF MY POS WAS REQUIRED. IN THE FUTURE; WHERE POSSIBLE; I WILL XCHK ALL NAVIGATIONAL READINGS BEFORE TAKING ANY ACTION. I AM NOT SURE I THE EXCITEMENT AND AWE OF FLYING IN INST CONDITIONS WILL EVER DECREASE.
