<p>This week Ben, Brian, and Ted get into IFR currency: what it actually takes to stay instrument current and ready. Six approaches, holds, tracking and intercepting nav aids, and the clock that never stops running. Foggles versus a safety pilot versus the real thing, why the foggles are &quot;the worst approximation of the instrument experience,&quot; and whether an IPC is the smarter move than chasing six approaches every six months. Plus a full tape machine of your voice memos and a whole lot of Oshkosh anticipation.</p><p><br></p><p>From the tape machine: Ash (flying_wheelies) on flying as a wheelchair pilot and sport pilot in his Paradise P1, and more of your feedback.</p><p><br></p><p>Mentioned on the show:</p><p>Brian&#39;s THE LONG WAY: https://www.makesmallcorrections.com/</p><p>Frequency Change Aviation, Nashville: https://frequencychangeaviation.com/</p><p>EP36 with CFI &amp; flight school owner Jeff Ramsey: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep36-cfi-flight-school-owner-jeff-ramsey-on-how-to/id1591463789?i=1000615289723</p><p>Ash&#39;s Flying Wheelies: https://www.instagram.com/flying_wheelies</p><p>Paradise P1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradise_P1_LSA</p><p>ICP Savannah: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICP_Savannah</p><p>When Do You Need An IPC (Boldmethod): https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/regulations/when-do-you-need-an-ipc-instrument-proficiency-check/</p><p>1DullGeek&#39;s &quot;I Can&#39;t See the Runway!!&quot;: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoIQv7IsfCw</p>
