That's what I thought too.... "I fly plenty. 6-months is a long time to just
do 6 approaches." Boy... skills fade fast. Now before any trip that I want to be
confident doing some enroute IFR, I go up with a safety pilot and get some quality
hood time before each one. I feel like if I haven't done any practice within a week
or two, I shouldn't be accepting the clearance.
