Of course not, but when I was flying a lot I made a point of trying to do currency flying in real IMC wherever possible. I also had a personal rule to maintain currency on a 3-month basis rather than the FAA's 6 months.Oldshooter, surly you don't wait for airports to be at minimum to practice your approaches?
"Get your IFR ticket and the never plan a trip where you have to use it!" is what you said. I didn't read all that other stuff into the statement.I did not say never practice, or never use it. I said if the weather at your destination is a 100 and 1/4 and plan to go another day! I stand by that.
I didn't know we were, actually. I have no control over idiots and little interest in worrying about them.Remember, we are talking about people that think they are current because they have three landings every 90 days.
Well, sometimes they are guys who have serious gethomeitis when they're at Grandma's on Sunday afternoon and have to be at work on Monday. Unfortunately, those are also the guys who showed up on Saturday morning and did their three landings while the family waited on the ground.People that are flying not for profit, where a trip on Monday is just as good on Tuesday or next week. Just because you can does not mean it smart to do.
So much screwed up about that deal I wouldn't even know where to start. At the bottom, probably a serious personality disorder.Also, I don't expect people to take that advice all the time. example John Kennedy.
