Friday Focus on IFR
“The Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) requirement for remaining
legal to fly under instrument rules and in IMC is woefully inadequate for maintaining proficiency. Flying legally is not the same as flying capably. Any instrument pilot who believes so is delusional. Pilots who rarely file flight plans under instrument rules, and who then find themselves in IMC, or where airspace is crowded and clearances are brisk, may become a menace to everyone. In other words, out-of-practice pilots are not competent pilots. Don’t let yourself become one of them.”
