Currency Question

I haven't flown IFR and logged the appropriate approaches, holds, tracking procedures, etc in about a year and a half. I know the regs say I will need an IPC before acting as PIC and operate in actual conditions or conditions less than VFR, but lets say the weather is CAVU for the entire flight and I will not be in an clouds for the entire way. Can I legally file IFR and do the flight without doing the IPC?

He edited his post, but my point is that as a CFI you need to be able to did these things up, as students will be asking you these questions. Use it as a learning opportunity.
