I'm looking for input from you guys that have had your rating for awhile
and who do stay current and fly in IMC regularly. What does it take,
realistically, for you to feel proficient and safe flying and shooting
approaches in actual? If you don't get actual time, do you still
regularly practice approaches simulated with a safety pilot?

It's not too much of a problem out here during winter but I do practice
during the summer with a fully rigged FlyElite simulator. Winter, though,
is
the slow season for my business.

As your
overall time increases, does it take somewhat less flying to maintain
that same level of comfortable currency?

Just a bit, but the lags must be consistent without to long of a gap.


I might add that 95% of all my flight plans are IFR regardless of weather or
altitude.
