Personal Minimums
As a new IFR pilot I thought I should decide on some personal minimums required for flight into actual IFR. This is what I came up with for now, I plan to slowly lower the minimums as I gain experience. (most of my IFR flying will be in a basic minimum 91.205 equipped C172. I did all my training in a glass cockpit, autopilot equipped SR20. This is why some of my minimums are so high, due to the fact that I don't have any of the aids in my C172 that I had in the SR20)
Clouds Takeoff Minimums: >= 1000ft AGL
Visibility: >= 3 Miles
Fuel: 1 Hour Reserve After Alternate
Alternate WX 1hr before/1 hr after ETA: >=1000ft AGL 3 Miles Visibility
Sleep: 6 Hours or >
Currency in A/C: 2 hours in last month
Destination Minimums: 1000ft AGL 2 miles Visibility 1 Hour Before/After ETA
Known Icing: Cancel
Thunderstorms or CB Clouds: Cancel
I'm still working on them now. What do you all think of them? Too high? Too low? Just right?
