Instrument Proficiency Check

To maintain currency a pilot must have performed and logged the following tasks within the preceding six calendar months.

• Six instrument approaches
• Holding procedures and tasks
• Intercepting and tracking courses through the use of navigational electronic systems

If at the end of the six months you are not current, you have a sixth month grace period to regain currency by flying the above requirements with:

• A safety pilot (in VFR conditions with an IFR training device)
• A certified flight instructor (CFI)
• A certified instrument flight instructor (CFII)

If your currency has lapsed, then you must complete an Instrument Proficiency Check with a CFII.

You may schedule time at Sterling in our aircraft and/or simulator to meet these requirements.
