    BFR and New Rating Question

    I'm due for a BFR in February. I am currently working on my IFR. It's taking longer than planned due to a myriad of circumstances.

    To continue or not

    I've been thinking lately, and that's never good. Basically, why am I working towards an instrument rating? Do I want to fly in IMC? No. I haven't been in actual yet. Is it enjoyable? I dunno. Challenging? Sure. Fun? Probably not. An IR was just the next step up the ladder. I'm just...
