Hi there,
as the headline states, I remember in the past, if one allowed his IFR currency to lapse in the first 6 month, it was possible to get current again in the following 6 month (grace period) with a safety pilot by shooting 6 approaches, holding etc. under the hood (simulated IFR). But I just discovered that the current Regs. 61.57(c) don't mention anything about a "grace period" anymore? Does this mean there is no "second" six month period anymore, instead one needs to do an IFR proficiency check? Appreciate any infos in this regard! Thanks!
