Multi Night Currency Counting for Single?
 

I am trying to keep current in both single engine and multi right now, and to save some money, it would be nice to find out if my multiengine night currency can count for my single as well. I know that the regulations state that the 90 day currency must be done for each category and class, but in the same theory that night currency counts for day, than how come multi currency can’t count for single? For now I am taking the conservative route, but it would be nice to know anyone else has come across this before.

It does not count. No gray area here.

Nope, has to be in category class and type.

You can save some coin by only doing the night currency in both aircraft and skipping the day currency :rolleyes:

You say you've got a CFI, do you know what the definition of "class" is?

Yes, I do know what the definition of class is. I even stated at the beginning that I understand that currency applies only to category, class (and type), but I wanted to know if anyone was aware of any weird FAA interpretation where they allow multi currency to count for single.

A weird FAA interpretation?

The FARs SPECIFICALLY state: category, CLASS, and type.

I don't see where the confusion is coming from. There's no loopholes here, the FAA makes it pretty clear...

If there were, it =would= be pretty weird. There isn't one.

What if you shut one down? :D haha

Yeah I always wondered if you could do that...

How? Maybe I'm misinterpreting what you said, or misreading the FARs. :confused:


§ 61.57 Recent flight experience: Pilot in command

1. General experience
   1. Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, no person may act as a pilot in command of an aircraft carrying passengers or of an aircraft certificated for more than one pilot flight crewmember unless that person has made at least three takeoffs and three landings within the preceding 90 days, and--
      1. The person acted as the sole manipulator of the flight controls; and
      2. The required takeoffs and landings were performed in an aircraft of the same category, class, and type (if a type rating is required), and, if the aircraft to be flown is an airplane with a tailwheel, the takeoffs and landings must have been made to a full stop in an airplane with a tailwheel.
   2. For the purpose of meeting the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of this section, a person may act as a pilot in command of an aircraft under day VFR or day IFR, provided no persons or property are carried on board the aircraft, other than those necessary for the conduct of the flight.

Sincere question, not trying to call out or knock anyone or anything like that :D. I think I just misunderstand what you're saying. Did you mean ignoring day currency all-together to save a little bank?
