If it has been more than 12 months since last IFR currency, what must you do?

• A. Complete an instrument proficiency check with CFII
• B. Fly VFR only
• C. Take a cross-country flight
• D. Read weather briefing once

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is IFR currency and how you regain it after lapsing. If it has been more than a year since you were last current for IFR, you must complete an Instrument Proficiency Check with a CFII or another FAA-approved evaluator. The IPC is a formal skills evaluation that verifies you can safely fly solely by reference to instruments, covering tasks like instrument approaches, holding procedures, and intercepting/tracking courses in simulated or actual instrument conditions. Passing the IPC reestablishes your IFR currency, letting you fly under instrument flight rules as pilot in command again.
