Licence Currency and Recency for Pilots

To maintain a current pilot licence, individuals must operate their endorsed aircraft types regularly, specifically every twelve months. If a pilot has not flown a certain type of aircraft in this time frame, they will lose their currency on that type, which may require additional training or testing to regain.

Key points

• Pilots must fly each type of aircraft they are endorsed for at least once every year to stay current.
• If a pilot does not meet this flying requirement, they will need to undergo retraining or re-evaluation.
• Licences may be adjusted to remove any type ratings where the pilot is not current.
