How this works

Each requirement uses the correct clock: the 61.57 passenger landings are a rolling 90 days; the flight review (61.56), instrument currency (61.57(c)) and the BasicMed course are calendar months; the BasicMed medical exam is 48 months from the exam date.

Instrument currency shows the 6-calendar-month window plus the additional 6-month grace period during which you may regain currency by flying 6 approaches, holding and course intercepting/tracking without a check — after that an Instrument Proficiency Check is required.

Self-reported planning aid, not a legal record or endorsement. Verify every requirement against the current FARs, your logbook, and your instructor. Type-specific, high-performance, tailwheel and other requirements are not modelled here. Not for navigation or flight planning — always verify against official current sources.
