Getting IFR current, in VFR, with a hood on, flying solo, in class B?

Ok so in class B ATC provides separation services, so would it be possible to do practice approaches in VFR under the hood by yourself?
 
Not that I would but you need a safety pilot to look out for traffic. If atc is taking care of that for you then wouldn't need a safety pilot I'm assuming

That.

I don't need to prove to you anything. IF you are a PIC, start acting like it.

Ok guys I was trying to play nice but it doesn't look like that's going to work.
In class b it's atc's responsibly to separate all traffic within class b. the purpose of a safety pilot is to have someone who can provide visual separation. Hence why would you need a safety pilot if the safety pilots job is already taken care of.
If you're going to disagree, show your work! Don't just throw out an opinion. It really how's your true colors of ignorance.

There are so many things wrong with that question I don't know where to begin.

In short: no.

Go back to flying VFR 101. See and avoid. If this question is serious, you need a good dose of common sense.

It's not about whether or not of actually doing it. It's more just good for thought.

Refusing to do your own homework here shows some ignorance as well. Start with FAR 91.109 & FAR 91.113(b).

See if they don't answer your question.

That's all it took. Thanks.
Then who's really responsible for vfr to vfr separation in class b? I'm assuming if two planes collide atc is off the hook?
 
§91.113 Right-of-way rules: Except water operations.

(b) General. When weather conditions permit, regardless of whether an operation is conducted under instrument flight rules or visual flight rules, vigilance shall be maintained by each person operating an aircraft so as to see and avoid other aircraft...

So it's only in imc that atc is responsible?
 
ATC's responsibilities are not necessarily tied to the pilot's responsibilities. Sometimes they overlap, sometimes they don't. No one is saying that ATC doesn't have responsibility to separate traffic in Class Bravo, simply that their responsibility to do so does not negate your responsibility under 91.113.
 
Ok well assuming you're ignorant and not trolling:

91.109:

(c) No person may operate a civil aircraft in simulated instrument flight unless—

(1) The other control seat is occupied by a safety pilot who possesses at least a private pilot certificate with category and class ratings appropriate to the aircraft being flown.
