I'm not a CFII, and therefore rarely fly IFR. But I can fly an ILS pretty well. That being said, i've been doing it on steam gauges and not glass recently. But if its just flying approaches I think I would manage.



So is it that they cant fly approaches? Or whats the deal usually? They cant read the charts?

IFR takeoff, basic attitude instrument flying, climbs, descents, turns, track a course, ILS to missed approach. Read and decipher charts and approach plates. We get a wide variety of candidates - some of these skills elude them.
