Pilot Currency Calculator

Check your FAR Part 91 recent-experience currency. All entries are processed locally in your browser — no data is sent to any server.

This tool covers recent-experience currency requirements for airplane category pilots operating under FAR Part 91. It does not cover: sport pilot, glider, rotorcraft, balloon, powered-lift, or other category/class currency rules. It does not cover tailwheel, high-performance, complex, or high-altitude endorsement currency requirements. Pilots operating under FAR Part 135, 121, or 141 have additional or different requirements. Currency is not the same as proficiency.

Currency means you meet the minimum recent-experience requirements to exercise your privileges. It does not mean you are proficient. If you have any doubt about your proficiency, fly with a qualified instructor before carrying passengers or flying in challenging conditions.

Select one or more sections above to check your currency.

Endorsements, aircraft category/class/type ratings, operating rules, exceptions, and individual circumstances may change the answer.
