My suggestion would be to skip the rating unless you're going to really use
it. I got my IFR about 2 years ago and have really only needed it a few times. It takes a lot of time and money to stay proficient in IFR even after you have the rating. For enjoyment flying, IFR is not needed. "Bob Martin" wrote in message om... I'm debating whether to try for my IFR rating in the spring. I won't have the time or money to start till then, but that's not the point. The big question is, is it worth it right now? The only flying I really do is cruising around, mild aerobatics, some formation stuff, and occasionally a trip to the neighboring states. An IFR ticket would be a "nice to have" but I don't think I'd really be able to make use of it--our plane isn't IFR equipped, and probably won't be for the forseeable future. Any suggestions?
