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. You need to get current on your IFR currency requirements! :-) Matt |

Why don't you just pick up a recent copy of the AIM for ten bucks? It's
probably more affordable for you on that warehouse salary. I'd rather get the King course and go through the whole kit and caboodle again. I like his humor, and I'm sure there's been many more changes than would be expressed in the AIM. |

Yes. Last time I flew IFR was in about 1993. Lots of changes since then. |

What I learned was Six approaches, Holding, Intercepting, and Tracking,
and you have to do all that sh*t within the last six months. Yes, that makes it a sliding six months. I guess they dropped the six hour rule, so it's six approaches in six months, but holding patterns? Intercepting and tracking would come naturally with approaches, but are holding patterns required now for proficiency? Those Air France pilots would be lost! Lost I tell ya!! Those autopilots aren't set up to do holds. LOL!! |

You must be the only one who likes his humor. Why don't you spend some time with an instructor in a simulator and doing ground school. the courses are only geared to passing the knowledge test. The FARs and AIM come out every year - you cannot go wrong buying it and reading it. |

time with an instructor in a simulator and doing ground school. the courses are only geared to passing the knowledge test. I already have my IFR ticket. The knowledge is what I'm after. All I really need is a refresher course, but I'd rather just go through the entire home study course so I don't miss anything. The sim time is not needed as when I can afford to fly again I'll get an instrument comp check and that will no doubt take awhile longer than usual. Maybe between 5 and 6 hours of hood time will get me back in the hack again. The FARs and AIM come out every year - you cannot go wrong buying it and reading it. That is without question as the FAR/AIM is required to fly PIC. It's one of the thing I gotta have anyway. |

If you can't fly what's in the PTS and what you could do when you got your certificate, then you aren't proficient by definition. Matt |
