Logged the requisite maneuvers with my safety pilot spouse. I should only need to fly IFR to GRB; from there my wife can get use home.

The ForeFlight digital approach charts are a delight to use, BTW. Everything is laid out better and it’s much faster to take in during flight.

Foul weather for tomorrow’s flight home means I’m flying six approaches and a hold today. KACB, KBFA, N98, and KCVX (full stop, lunch) then back to KTVC. #aviation #flyga #flyifr

Five and a hold in simulated IMC with my safety pilot/wife. IFR current until the end of May. #flyga #flyifr #aviation

Flew over to OSH to visit friends holding our spots in Camp Scholler. The smoke from the Canadian wildfires made visibility quite poor at times, and a little shower pushed through while we were out to dinner, which cleaned the air quite a bit. I flew home IFR and upwind and had a lovely time of it. Excited to see everyone again! #flyga #flyifr #OSH23

Today I flew four instrument approaches and a hold, in actual IMC. Some with the autopilot, some without, and a nice mix of GPS, ILS, and VOR approaches. Stayed ahead of the airplane. Feeling good. #flyga #flyifr #aviation

Go or no go: Appalachian IFR : Air Facts Journal

Today's trip, from Chattanooga, Tennessee, to Greensboro, North Carolina, is perfect for general aviation. Instead of a six hour drive along the winding roads of the Appalachian Mountains, you can fly your Mooney there in less than 90 minutes. That's assuming the weather cooperates, of course, and a quick look at ForeFlight suggests there might be some work involved. Your airplane is well-equipped and you are instrument current, but is that enough today? Read the weather briefing below and decide what you would do.
