good answer Vaughn... but the AIM/FAR is on the internet..

as for gliders.. or to carry passengers in anything.. you must be 90 day
current in category and class, and if you are doing it at night.. night
landing current too...
so even if you are 90 current in SEL and not 90 current in glider.. then
you be best to do your 3 pattern tows for three landings.. before taking
that pretty girl up for a glider ride.

I'm trying to come up with a list of all possible currency
requirements that could possibly be calculated. This is what I have so
far:

SEL general
SEL night
MEL general
MEL night
SEL tailwheel general
SEL tailwheel night
MEL tailwheel general
MEL tailwheel night
SES general
SES night
MES general
MES night

instrument-airplane
instrument-helicopter
instrument-glider

After that it gets kind of confusing. There are a few other
categories, such as Powered Lift, Lighter-Than-Air, Weight-Shift, etc.
But I don't know if single-engine, sea, apply to them.

Is there a such thing as glider currency?


Currency for carrying passengers is determined by category and class of
aircraft. I can't find where the FAA defines anything called "SEL
currency" or "glider currency", though some may invent such terms for
logging purposes.

Do you have to do 3 landings
within the last 90 days in a glider to carry passengers in a glider?


Yes. Read 61.57

The FAR's define a glider as a category, but I can't find any mention
of glider currency anywhere on the internet.


Speaking respectfully, stop searching the Internet and get familar with
your FAR/AIM. For today's subject, start at 61.57.
