My difficulties in getting an IPC have really reminded me that it's
easier to stay current than get current again. Problem is, I don't know
how to stay current.

We don't get much IMC here, so flying approaches by myself isn't really
an option. We certainly don't get enough to get in six approaches and
holds every six months.

I used to have a regular safety pilot, but since moving, I haven't met
anyone, much less pilots to fly with. I've been paying a CFII to just
sit in the right seat, but that's expensive, and doesn't help my
confidence at all.

So...how do you stay instrument current?

Hi Rachel,

Fortunately for me, finding IMC is not a problem, just can't seem to find
them on weekends *smile*.

So, I end up taking a day or two off of work just to maintain currency
during those days where ceilings are 1000 foot or so. Can't go lower then
that since minimums at my airport are 900 feet.

Are you new to your airport? Maybe talk to your CFII and see if he / she
knows any pilots wanting to ride shotgun while you shoot approaches?
