There is a reason that the vast majority of instrument rated private
pilots don't stay instrument current - it's just not very useful.



This is just plain nonsense. That they do not *choose* to use it does not make
it "not useful".

Yes, I'd like to know where those "statistics" came from. I make a diligent
effort to maintain my IFR currency (over and above the minimum) and file IFR
on about half of the flights I make in my airplane.

If I were not going to bother staying IFR current then I don't think I'd
bother getting the rating after all.
