Cheers guys for the comments, I was beginning to think I was alone in here
IO540, Now I am probably in a similar boat to several others here in that I won't be doing 100 hours a year including 20 to 30 IMC. However, I expect to fly about 50 hours per year total and am thinking I will be doing about 10 to 15 of those per year IMC. In an ideal world I would obviously do more but until then... is this too few? I want the rating to help me, and I am very aware of the need to maintain the skills, but am I realistic that I can maintain my skills with this level? At the moment, I am looking at the IMC rating as a help me out for sh1tty weather not an IR on the cheap.
Just out of interest, I've got the bug now (instrument flying ain't exhilerating but it sure is challenging and satisfying), does anyone know how much would it cost to do an FAA/IR in the UK? Family commitments mean I can't go abroad
Tim, I concur completely, below MSA and in IMC is not my place to be.
Thanks again all, hopefully flying again tomorrow
