Certification requirements, recent flight experience, and recordkeeping.
Certification requirements, recent flight experience, and recordkeeping.
Bottom line
Before carrying passengers, check your flight-review status and your takeoff-and-landing recency separately. A current flight review does not by itself establish passenger currency. Record the training and experience used for certificates, ratings, flight reviews, and recent-experience requirements.
