This is a case where an instrument proficiency check would be the greatest value. From the sounds of it, I can’t imagine the guy is current on instruments, much less proficient. Chris

May 23, 20224 yr Wow this guy is no where near competent let alone flying from a busy airport IFR, some people have 0 airmanship or self risk analysis Wayne such Asus Hero Z690, Gigabyte Aorus Master 5080, I914900K, Kraken 360 AIO CPU Cooled, 96 GIGS Corsair DDR5, 32 Inch 4K by 3

Mark All Pilots who want to act as PIC need a logbook endorsement every 24 calendar months. You also need a Medical certificate. So you even need to be healthy (mentally & physically) to act as PIC.

From the sounds of it, I can’t imagine the guy is current on instruments, much less proficient. To act as PIC in IFR, currency is measure by the amount of approaches every 6 months. You don't need a CFI to verify the logbook entries, but the Pilot has to be honest with himself and sometimes a hazardous attitude can be the culprit of ineptitude. MSFS
May 23, 20224 yr 12 hours ago, DJJose said: Every 24 calendar months, all PICs (in the US) are supposed to show that they can still act as PIC. The CFI is the one responsible to ensure that the Pilot is still qualified. If they are, then they get a logbook endorsement. It's really a checkride, but most Pilots don't look at it that way. I'm an EASA license holder, and if I have logged 12 hours the last year all I need is a lesson with an instructor. The exercise can be anything from full blown checkride to short field landings. (My friend got his PPL endorsement via the taildragging check-out, he was technically flying with a CFI, funny) However, If you haven't logged the required hours, you will need to fly with a check airman, and conduct a "true" checkride. Which I think should be mandatory, regardless. EASA PPL SEPL + NQ / CB-IR in progress MSFS24 | X-Plane 12
May 23, 20224 yr This man is a danger for himself and for others! I don't know about the US today (I have not flown there since 1991!) I wonder if in Europe he would have been allowed to take off after the clearance read back fiasco and - above everything - the complete (and dangerous) disorientation... on the ground! This "IFR" pilot cannot understand (several times) a clearance given patiently in detail at a slow pace by a controller, could not use the proper alphabet to spell airways and VORs, does not really know where to look for a SID, enters a runway by mistake (fortunately it was not the active!), takes the opposite taxiway to the one he should have turn onto, is that all? By chance for the controller this was the only plane on the frequency... I may be wrong, because my cockpit days are far away, but I believe a controller had/has(?) the authority to request a return to the parking to control the license and the physical/mental fitness of the pilot(is he under substance or alcool?) at the very least, if the security of the airport he/she is in charge of is gravely compromised by one individual who cannot demonstrate an elementary level of proficiency (as was obviously the case). Could an active European pilot confirm that? @ryanbatc could you do that in the States?
