Proficiency is even more elusive than currency, but obviously both are important. I’ve written a few times about my travails with my engines. I needed an overhaul on both sides, and the lead time (from RAM, the preferred engine vendor for Twin Cessnas) was six months. That was in December and my engines have arrived and are being installed as I write this in late June.
That means I’m no longer instrument current. Plus, I’m ashamed to admit, that even at the beginning of that downtime I really didn’t feel overly proficient, so as I anticipated flying again I definitely needed some work.
