Tracking FAA Currency

What Is Pilot Currency?

FAA regulations require pilots to maintain certain recency of experience before acting as pilot-in-command. Aloft360 tracks these requirements and surfaces them during the pre-checkout verification.

Currency Items Tracked

• Flight Review (BFR) — required every 24 calendar months (14 CFR 61.56)
• Recency of experience — 3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days (14 CFR 61.57)
• Night currency — 3 night takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days (for night PIC)
• Medical certificate — expiration date (Class 1, 2, or 3 as applicable)

Setting Up Currency Tracking

Currency tracking is enabled per-organization in Settings:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Under Feature Toggles, enable Track Pilot Currency.

Once enabled, currency status appears in the pre-checkout verification dialog.

Updating a Pilot's Currency

1. Go to Settings → Members.
2. Click on the pilot's name.
3. Scroll to the Currency section.
4. Update:
   • Last Flight Review date
   • Medical certificate expiration
5. Click Save.

Landings are counted automatically from logged flights. Aloft360 looks at the previous 90 days of logged landings to determine day and night currency.

Currency Status Indicators

Currency in Checkout Verification

If Track Pilot Currency is enabled, the pre-checkout checklist will show the pilot's current status. The pilot must acknowledge any currency warnings before completing checkout.

Currency warnings do not automatically block dispatch — they inform the pilot and create a record that the status was reviewed.
