QUICK POLL FOR EVERYONE: Which are you?

[Walboy]

I believe there are a higher percentage of pilots with an IR today than prior to 1995. GPS, EFBs, and some lowering of the test standards encouraged more pilots to get IR.

Just wondering. How were the test standards lowered?

I am instrument rated and current and like to critique others

I have an ATP but am not an airline pilot, how should I answer?

You just did

I find it fascinating that 2/3 of poa are (or at least claim to be) instrument rated. I suppose it makes sense that people who love flying enough to seek out and participate in a forum would also be the ones to pursue "advanced" ratings.

The percentage went up when @eman1200 and @SixPapaCharlie finally got off the butts and got their ratings.

I’m ain’t, nor do I plan to ever get the IFR rating.
