Thanks to everyone in the group for their sincere replies to this.
From the posts in this thread, I have considered two options I didn't think of befo 1.) Just fly VFR only (as I did before I got my rating), until I plan a trip where I want the option if flying in IMC, and do an IPC with a CFII to prepare for it 2.) Become an instrument instructor Though my current budget doesn't really have room for it, I like (2) best. I asked my instructor about this, and he thinks I should do it. What he recommended that surprised me, however, was to do the instrument-instructor first, since he says it's easier than getting the CFI. What's up with that?? "Marty Ross" wrote in message et... "Infrequent flying & IFR currency" - sounds like an oxymoron, I know. I'm limiting my flying now due to lack of income (anyone have work for a software developer?), yet would like to try to maintain my (recently acquired) IFR currency. I guess my best bet is to beg/borrow/steal/hire a safety pilot and shoot an approach or two (plus the other stuff) every month, in addition to practice in my home simulator, but I'm wondering what other wisdom/ideas I'll find out there amongst y'all in the newsgroup. Any tips, recommendations for keeping IFR currency as a non-owner on a budget? |
