Who this is for
An instrument-rated pilot auditing currency or preparing for an IPC
A source-checked decision and preparation system for recent experience, lapsed currency, and IPC work.
The problem
Instrument currency runs on dates and records, and it's easy to confuse being legal with being ready for actual IMC.
This product turns that ambiguity into a visible sequence of checks, decisions, records, and instructor conversations.

Workflow
How it works
- Complete the status and evidence pages before trying to solve the problem from memory.
- Work the decision and scenario pages using current official sources and the documents for the actual operation or aircraft.
- Mark uncertain items for a qualified instructor, physician, examiner, or FAA resource as applicable.
- Carry the action or handoff page into the next real conversation and update the plan afterward.
Source control
