This document defines the relationship between the expiration dates shown on the Flight Currency screen to the information contained in the currency information for each user’s username. If a currency field shows expired, the explanation line will give the field on the user Currency Information that needs to be changed to bring the user back into currency. For example, if the FAR/Local Procedures Test shows expired when checking a user’s currency, the problem would be that the field FAR Local Procedures Test on the Add New User screen or Modify Existing User screen must be changed so that it is within one year prior to the current date.
Note: The failure of any rule (Waiver, Manager Grounding, etc.) with the exception of the aircraft type rules will prevent a pilot from checking out an aircraft. The aircraft type rules (C150 Written Test, C150 Flight Test, C150 Initial Checkout, etc.) only apply to the aircraft type that is being checked out (failure of a C150 checkout won’t prevent a pilot from checking out a C172). Depending on the pilot type, entering an instructor username may allow the pilot to continue checking out the aircraft.
Note: The rules may apply in different ways to a particular pilot type and this is shown under each of the rules. For instance, a Student Pilot Certificate applies to a student pilot, but does not apply to a Private Pilot under 200 hours, a Private Pilot over 200 hours, an Instrument Rated Pilot or a CFI.
Note: Any failure of a CFI to be cleared for flight will remove the flight instructor as a clearing authority.
