Night currency question
My question was related to currency - 3 full stops in the previous 90
days. I have heard of individuals joking about counting three bounce landings during the day time as meeting their currency requirement, however, I've never know anyone to actually put it in their log books. The only general answer I have received is related to safety, but no further explanation has been given. The reason I asked was that the FAA is requesting comments on their regs at this time. Since no one has been able to give a definite answer, I have submitted a request that the "full stop" be removed from the language. Thanks for the "lively" responses.

There may be little justification for that requirement and this may be a good time to ask the FAA to either provide better justification or change to the rule because it appears the "FAA Wants Help Eliminating Useless Rules": http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news...atingUselessRu... |

46.128: Robert M. Gary wrote I'm not sure if that is true or not but I always restrict my students to full stop landings when I endorse them for solo. Touch-n-goes can be very busy and the chances of someone going off the side of the runway while reaching for the flaps (at least with low time pilots) is high in my experience. Same here.... Bob Moore Ditto. I'm not all that keen on doing touch and goes at any time, in fact. Bertie |

Night currency question
Each landing has to involve "flight in the traffic pattern". Now if you
were a lawyer, you might argue the definition of "traffic pattern". Does only an upwind and final count? Reading 61.57 I see nothing about flight in the traffic pattern. Where is it required? If I make three night cross country trips, ending each one with a straight in approach and landing, that counts towards currency. However, I do agree that three bounces does not.

Night currency question
Section 61.109: Aeronautical experience.
(a) For an airplane single-engine rating......... (ii) 10 takeoffs and 10 landings to a full stop (with each landing involving a flight in the traffic pattern) at an airport. Just to keep things clear... 61.109 contains (training) requirements for applying for a pilot certificate in the first place. As such the pattern requirement is reasonable. 61.57 contains requirements for recency of experience to be legal for carrying passengers. As such the lack of a pattern requirement is reasonable.

You might be thinking of the Commercial Experience requirements:
"5 hours in night VFR conditions with 10 takeoffs and 10 landings (with each landing involving a flight in the traffic pattern) at an airport with an operating control tower." FAR 61.129 61.109 relates to private pilots and doesn't mention night as a requirement On Dec 14, 8:31 am, Jose wrote: Section 61.109: Aeronautical experience.
