What is the currency requirement in terms of takeoffs and landings in the last 90 days?

• A. 3 T/O and landing in 90 days
• B. 6 T/O and landings in 60 days
• C. 2 T/O and landings in 120 days
• D. 4 T/O and landings in 90 days

Answer: (A)

To legally act as pilot in command carrying passengers, you need recent practice with the basics of operating the aircraft: three takeoffs and landings in an aircraft of the same category and class within the preceding 90 days. This recency checks that you’ve maintained proficiency in the core maneuver of getting the aircraft safely airborne and back on the ground. The option that matches this rule is three takeoffs and landings in 90 days, which is the standard currency requirement. The other choices mix different counts or timeframes that don’t align with the established 90-day, three-tlight recency requirement.
