That is a point I had overlooked early on. I was only logging my night
landings, since most of those flights commenced earlier during daylight.

A question I still wonder is, If I only have night landings logged,
would
I still be current to land at night, but just not to take off? or do I
need
both night Takeoffs and night landings logged even if I only want to land
at night (with pax). Again, most of my flights which end in a night
landing, are just day-long trips where I get home late. It is a real pain
to
make special trip to airport after dark just to practice night takeoffs.

What are your collective thoughts on this subject?

Look at FAR 61.57b. Even if you take off before nightfall and stay aloft
until after dawn, you still can't have a passenger on board unless you meet
the night-currency condition, which requires takeoffs as well as landings.

Actually, for night currency, they must be *Stop & Go*s, not just T&Gs
by FAR 61.57(b)


And an often overlooked point, takeoffs are included. You can have a
logbook
full of daytime takeoffs and night landings, and they don't help a bit
without
night takeoffs.
