I'm curious if any RV fliers out there practice recurrent training? I'm not talking about a bi-annual but real training either with a CFI or just going out and practicing stalls, slow flight and other emergency procedures.
I used to fly in law enforcement and we always did recurrent training. In fact, if a pilot was off more than 7 days he had to go out for short check ride with a couple of autorotations and a briefing as to any changes in policy or procedures.
I got thinking of this after completing my first Condition Inspection. It had been 3 weeks since I had flown. I went out and did the full stall series twice and slow flight at several different speeds. After feeling comfortable again I went to a remote airport and did some power off glides to landing. Then a few touch and goes.
Just curious!!
