Flying IFR whenever possible is a great way to stay current and on most VFR days the IFR system SHOULD be pretty available. Emphasis on should... I love the order of the IFR system and look forward to flying in it often. Good idea Keith..

I'm glad you're still going, though! I'm actually more sorry to hear about yet another IFR pilot that hasn't stayed current. When I started my IFR training, I knew of more IFR pilots who were NOT current than were current. I'm not sure why it happens so frequently, but it's a very real problem. Some guys don't fly IFR very often, and start considering it to be a hassle to fly in the system. 6 months later, they're no longer current, and it eventually slips away. My only advice would be to try to get out and file IFR as often as possible. Even if the weather's VMC, planning, filing and getting the clearance will keep you sharp, so that when there IS weather on a given day, you just do what you normally do (go IFR), and nothing changes.
