IFR currency
I know the rules on IFR currency as far as the FAA certificate is concerned
but I have a scenario which my be worth a debate. A pilot holds independently both a FAA/IR and a JAR/IR. The JAR IR is valid for 12 months and must be revalidated in the three months preceding the expiry of the rating, usually with a proficiency checkride. The checkride is required whether the rating holder has done 1 or 1000 approaches during the 12 months. The pilot has not flown the 6 instrument approaches etc in the immediately preceding 6 months so is out of currency with the FAA/IR. However the JAR/IR is still valid and in the next 2 months the pilot flies 20 instrument approaches, dozens of holds , airways tracking, the lot in fact all solo on his JAR/IR, does that activity all written up nicely in the log book then make him current as far as the FAA is concerned? Certainly it would have him as proficient but would the pilot still need to go off with a safety pilot and do the 6 simulated instrument approaches etc. Reading the FARs it would seem to me that he would despite the fact that the approaches were done legally in the respective JAR country.

The pilot needs the IPC to fly a USA registered airplane in
the USA. He can fly a outside the USA in any airplane on the JAR license under JAR rules. -- James H.

The pilot has not flown the 6 instrument approaches etc in the immediately
preceding 6 months so is out of currency with the FAA/IR. As long as the pilot is not more than six months out of currency, he does not need an IPC; he can become current again by flying six approaches and detritus. If he is more than six months out of currency, then he would need an IPC. However the JAR/IR is still valid and in the next 2 months the pilot flies 20 instrument approaches, dozens of holds , airways tracking, the lot in fact all solo on his JAR/IR, does that activity all written up nicely in the log book then make him current as far as the FAA is concerned? I would imagine so, unless there is some reason that flying on a JAR is not loggable as per the FCC (for example, I believe police and military flying does not count towards FCC requirements).

I stand by my statement though. The FCC will not accept your FAA logbook (or your JAR logbook) twoards any FCC requirements.

What's your basis for believing that these approaches would not satisfy 61.57(c)? The belief (mistaken) that in the second 6 months the way to become current is to fly the requisite number of approaches etc with a safety pilot. I also suppose that in the UK, the validity of an IMC rating of 25 months seems to provide a lot of flexibility in terms of keeping the FAA/IR valid. |

You probably meant 12 months out of currency since all you need is a safety pilot in the 6 to 12 month period. After 12 months, IPC is required. FCC? |

You probably meant 12 months out of currency
No, I meant six months out of currency. You are out of currency when you do not six approaches in the preceeding six months. You are one day out of currency the day after that happens. since all you need is a safety pilot in the 6 to 12 month period. We're just measuring from different points. I am measuring "out of currency" from the day you are no longer legal to file IFR. After that, you have six months to get back in the saddle with a safety pilot before you need a CFI. FCC? You didn't know the FAA and the FCC merged? They will be known as the FBB. Jose -- Money: what you need when you run out of brains. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
