Default Types of currency

I'm trying to come up with a list of all possible currency
requirements that could possibly be calculated. This is what I have so
far:

SEL general
SEL night
MEL general
MEL night
SEL tailwheel general
SEL tailwheel night
MEL tailwheel general
MEL tailwheel night
SES general
SES night
MES general
MES night

instrument-airplane
instrument-helicopter
instrument-glider

After that it gets kind of confusing. There are a few other
categories, such as Powered Lift, Lighter-Than-Air, Weight-Shift, etc.
But I don't know if single-engine, sea, apply to them.

Is there a such thing as glider currency?


Currency for carrying passengers is determined by category and class of
aircraft. I can't find where the FAA defines anything called "SEL currency" or
"glider currency", though some may invent such terms for logging purposes.

Do you have to do 3 landings
within the last 90 days in a glider to carry passengers in a glider?


Yes. Read 61.57

The FAR's define a glider as a category, but I can't find any mention
of glider currency anywhere on the internet.


Speaking respectfully, stop searching the Internet and get familar with your
FAR/AIM. For today's subject, start at 61.57.
