Key Takeaways:

  • The author reflects on the value of informal "hangar flying" sessions for social interaction and in-depth aviation discussions.
  • He tasked two contributors to research the magazine's conflicting stances on whether an instructor is required for simulator-based instrument currency.
  • This research evolved into an extensive, collaborative "electronic hangar flying" process, navigating complex and often contradictory FAA information.
  • While a definitive answer will be revealed next month, the most significant benefit was the rewarding and productive collaborative research process itself.
