Does a CFII checkride reset IFR currency timeline?

Once you have gone 6 months without approaches, you will need to do an IPC.

I am sure you misspoke but it is six months after lapsing that an IPC is required, not 6 months without an approach.

I hope so too. Man, I hate it when I do this, but the OCD is so hard to control sometimes!

61.57 Recent flight experience: Pilot in command (d) Instrument proficiency check. Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, a person who does not meet the instrument experience requirements of paragraph (c) of this section within the 12 calendar months preceding the month of the flight may not serve as pilot in command under IFR or in weather conditions less than the minimums prescribed for VFR until having passed an instrument proficiency check that consists of the areas of operation and instrument tasks required in the instrument rating practical test standards


I hope I didn't just step on my wang again!

you cant take things back to the day. Otherwise all the months of the year would have to have the same amount of days.

Huh? Just an FYI, but there are legal requirements (not necessarily in aviation) in which months are counted from the day number of the month to the day number of the month. There are just rules that deal with what happens if the trigger happened on January 31 and the target month happens to be June.

I spoke to an individual i know at the FSDO in Portland, ME and he told me you get the 6 months prior to the month you are in + the month you are currently in.

I can't tell if that's righ or not – it's way too complicated for me. :dunno:

If this is November, 1 month ago is October and 6 months ago is May according to my fingers. Are you getting a different month than that.

Correct.

So if you wanted to see if you are IFR current today, you look through November, October, September, August, July, June and May.

As soon as December 1st rolls around, you get the day of December 1st, and then the months of Nov, Oct, Sept, Aug, July, and June.

Yes i realize that, the wording i used was horrible. But made sense to me at the time I meant it in the FAA calendar month world.
