As long as you operate under VFR, you can get yourself current again with just a safety pilot (unless the safety pilot is able and willing to act as PIC under IFR). At which point he's not a safety pilot, he's the pilot in command. Safety pilots only have regulatory menaing for simulated instrument flight. Isn't that what Roy already said by saying "willing to act as PIC"? |

Isn't that what Roy already said by saying "willing to act as PIC"? Sorry, just being overly pedantic. When he "willing acts as PIC in IFR conditions" he isn't a safety pilot anymore. |

But if someone else is PIC, can the "copilot" count the approaches toward currency? vince norris |

toward currency? Yes. That is, if by "copilot" you mean the pilot flying - the one with his hands on the controls, whether or not he has the final authority for the flight. Jose -- Nothing takes longer than a shortcut. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
