Training Poll

OK, here it is, finally!

Hmmm... I learn something from every flight, whether it's intentional training or not.

I do regular training, every couple of months, but I fly enough that it's more than every 3-4 flights. IPC's every 4-6 months.

I have done one IPC since getting my rating a little over 3 years ago. I have kept current but I think I may do another IPC just to protect myself from getting into a bad habit and not catching it.

Scott,

I'm curious... Do you get the approaches done in the course of your normal flying? Do you go hunt for actual (like me )? Or, do you do your 6/6 with a safety pilot?

I seem to only get about two actual IMC approaches per six months in the course of my normal flying. I'll go hunting for actual for a couple more, but haven't managed to stay current without trying yet. Maybe this next time, I did four approaches and a hold in December (hunting actual).

If I can get them in actual I will do it then. But generally it is with a safety pilot and I try to get two done per month. But I have been negligent in that since November due to family issues hence why I was thinking to do an IPC. I have my BFR due in April so I was thinking of doing both at the same time.

the poll closed so fast I couldn't participate! I'lll just keep my thoughts on the subject to myself then.

[NC Pilot]

I try to keep current by flying in actual and participate in the NC Wings program at least once per year, twice if I can swing it.

Obviously not Scott, but I try to get up no less then every other week to shoot 3-4 apps under the hood with a safely pilot. Luckily, Brent is eager to go almost anytime I want to get some apps in.

Last year I did 20hrs of hood work, and I average 3 apps/hour, so I put in maybe 60 practice approaches last year? An average of 5 practice apps/month?
