It looked so much like a cheque, but I figured it must be a bill -- landing fees that had finally caught up to me from some obscure airport.<br /><br />I've only had my IFR ticket for 8 months, and as a private pilot I only fly a couple times a month. As I read the circular, the currency requirements are alternating. For a year after I take an IPC I have no requirement for currency. Then the next year I have to have 6 hours and 6 approaches in the previous month. Then I take my IPC, and the cycle repeats.<br /><br />This may lead to annual variations in my behaviour. Right now to stay current I have to go looking for trouble. For a year in which I didn't have that requirement I might only fly those approaches that I actually needed to, which might be only one or two in IMC.Doug Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851123360861758493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-38242364703021091272015-12-24T02:06:32.042+00:002015-12-24T02:06:32.042+00:00Glad it was a (semi) good letter. How interesting...Glad it was a (semi) good letter. How interesting that keeping track of expirations and "checks due" is too much work for a centralized,computer-based Federal agency. Just another pilot "gotcha" waiting in the weeds for the overworked and/or inatentive worker who actually makes the wheels go 'round.<br /><br />Anyway, a welcome gift in m inbox on Christmas Eve in the Philippines. Always glad to see you finding time to write. Have a very Merry Christmas and a most enjoyable New YearDave Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853160665847969116noreply@blogger.com
