SESK: Stuff Everyone Should Know · sesk.info/pilot-passenger-currency-90-days

To carry passengers, you need 3 takeoffs and landings within the preceding how many days?

90 days, in the same category and class (and type, if required).

  1. 30 days
  2. 90 days ✔
  3. 60 days

Why: Rule 61.57(a) requires 3 takeoffs and 3 landings in the preceding 90 days, as sole manipulator of the controls, before acting as pilot in command with passengers.

Huh, didn't know that: In a tailwheel airplane, those 3 landings must be to a full stop.

The dad joke
