You don't know what 666 means in reference to IFR?


Yes-- I don't know. Please explain.

One you have your IFR ticket, you must get 6 hours of instrument time and
6
instrument approaches in 6 months to stay IFR current. Otherwise you will
need an Instrument Comp Check. Thus, 666 is an easy way to remember that.

Except the first 6 doesn't mean 6 hours of instrument time any more. It
looks to me like a graphical description of a hold with a direct entry; then
it'd be more accurate :-)
