Default Do you have to solo to get current?

@newsfe13.lga:

No he would not. But no mater what you call him, if he is any kind of
quaified pilot, as opposed to a passenger, 61.57 does not apply.
Because 61.57 is about carrying passengers.


If he ever intends to fly with passengers in the future, he may not use
three takeoffs and landings during a flight carrying non-required
persons or property to meet his currency requirement. That's pretty
clear.


That's an interesting angle, but I don't think it would be correct. The
way I am reading it, if he has done three takeoffs and landings in the
past 90 days under any circumstances, he is current to fly passengers.


Section (2) of 61.57 is quite clear. For the purpose of meeting the
requirements of (a)(1), if he was PIC he can't have carried persons or
property that weren't necessary aboard the flight.

How else is that to be interpreted?
