A couple of questions about IPC
Paul Tomblin wrote:
I've only done one approach in the last 6 months. I've let my currency lapse, so as I read the regs I now have to do an IPC, right? No. If you're less than 6 months out of currency, you can go get yourself current again by flying 6 approachs and a hold with a safety pilot. If you let things go beyond 6 months (from the date you ran out of IFR currency), *then* you need to do an IPC. You can elect to do an IPC anyway. What does an IPC consist of? Just 6 approaches and a hold, or is there more to it? Can it be fewer than 6 approaches? The IFR PTS lays out the details. To a reasonable approximation, it's a repeat of your instrument checkride. In practice, what I want to see is that you can fly a partial-panel ILS, a full-procedure GPS approach, a hold, and still remember how to navigate without a GPS (i.e. a VOR or LOC approach flown with just the nav radios). |
