How often is an instrument proficiency check?
Unlike the Flight Review, the Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC) is only required if a pilot’s instrument currency lapses—there is no regularly recurring requirement for an IPC.

Do you fly pattern a or pattern B?

Why are ” pattern a ” and ” Pattern B ” important?
