Recent discussions at my small club have centered around the cuurency
requirements for commercial glider pilots. My understanding is that a pilot may not carry passengers unless they have had three take offs and landings within the previous ninety days in an aircraft of the same category, class and type if a type rating is required. So, working backwards, I'm not aware of any type ratings associated with gliders. The same is true, as I understand it, of class. That leaves only category. So, I believe that if a pilot has three takeoff and landings in any glider in the past ninety days then that pilot is current to carry passengers. I'm not aware of any differences in currency requirements for private pilots versus commercial pilots. Some club members, more experienced than I, contend that commercial pilots must have three take offs and landings in the specific model (in our case, G103) to be used for the ride. What sayeth RAS ? I'm not afraid to be wrong, it's happened before! If I am wrong, what are the CFR's that point out the errors of my ways? thanks, Doug |
