Question 1

What is pilot currency under EASA?

Accepted Answer

Currency is a rolling-window recency requirement distinct from licence validity and medical validity. You hold a licence (which does not expire) and a medical (which expires by age/class), but to exercise the privileges of that licence you must also be current — recent flights and a valid flight review.

Question 2

How many landings do I need to carry passengers?

Accepted Answer

EASA FCL.060 requires three take-offs and three landings within the preceding 90 days in the same class and type of aircraft before you may carry passengers. For night passenger carriage, the three landings must be done at night.

Question 3

Does night currency count toward day currency?

Accepted Answer

No — day currency requires day take-offs and landings, night currency requires night take-offs and landings. Night currency is a superset in practice: if you are night-current, you are also day-current, but day-current does not grant you night privileges.

Question 4

How often do I need a Biennial Flight Review (BFR)?

Accepted Answer

EASA Part-FCL requires a proficiency check or training flight with an authorised instructor every 24 calendar months to keep SEP/TMG class ratings valid. The exact requirement varies by rating and state — your authority or flight school will detail the local rules.

Question 5

When does my Class 2 medical expire?

Accepted Answer

Under EASA Part-MED, a Class 2 medical is valid for 60 months if you are under 40 at the examination date, or 24 months if you are 40 or older. Class 1 is 12 months, dropping to 6 months for multi-crew operations if you are 60 or older.
