Do you need three take-offs and landings to a full stop

What are the required maneuvers for the one-hour of flight to fullfil a
BFR?


Setting a stable orbit
Changes of orbital inclination
Docking and undocking procedures
Gravitational slingshots
Atmospheric braking

Additionally, you must make three docking and undocking manoevres to a
full stop every 90 days to be current to carry passengers.


What about emergency procedures?
