In IPC, Logbook endorsement by CFII is necessary, right? and not just record in your log book?
thanks!
Yes, an IPC is a BFR of sorts because it can be done by a CFI-I, and it is a logbook endorsement. I typically do 1.5 ground, 1.5 air, as a minimum. If someone's way out of currency, obviously the first flight and ground are probably not even done with the intent of signing off an IPC. Personally, I treat my IPC's as a instrument ride, because I feel that if you can't hold up to the minimums required by the PTS, then you shouldn't be flying IFR, and I don't want my name in your book
