IFR Clarification

COPA IFR TESTING CLARIFICATION

This is an excellent and very clear summary of what needs to occur in order to retain your IFR currency.  In short, the regulator has clarified that you need to demonstrate the use of GPS equipment during your initial flight test from now on.  Your every two year IPC can be done in your own aircraft, as equipped, even if it does not have an IFR GPS in it.

In addition, the post also describes how you can keep your 6-6-6 currency rolling - which is exactly how I keep current.  VFR hood is always in the back seat, and if the right-seater is competent then I'll log some hood time on any cross country flight, and shoot an approach at the destination too.
