Narrative:
During the cruise phase of flight; I encountered an oil pressure warning. I notified ATC who vectored me without incident back to my home airport. I did declare an emergency when asked by ATC. I was conducting a local IFR flight in order to maintain experience. Weather was VMC; broken at 2;000 ft with calm winds; so the conditions were great for some light IMC time.in march; I had conducted a flight review with an instructor where we had performed advanced IFR training such as partial panel approaches. At the time of the flight in august; I was under the impression that this march flight review was an ipc whereas in fact my last ipc was in november 2012; so although I had done 6 IFR approaches in the 6 months (3 with an instructor) prior to august; I was actually not in compliance with far 61.57.
