About DGCA 90-Day Passenger Currency Tracker
The question "am I legal to take someone flying this weekend?" deserves a one-glance answer, and that's the whole job of this tracker. The governing rule — CAR Section 7 / Schedule II recent-experience: carriage of passengers requires takeoffs and landings within the preceding 90 days on type — runs on a rolling window, so yesterday's legality says nothing about next week's. Log your circuits and landings as you fly them; the tool maintains the count, flags the moment you drop below three, and names the future date when that will happen so refresher circuits go in the diary early.

Frequently asked questions
Do my landings have to be in the same aircraft type?+
They must match in category and class — and in type when a type rating is required. CAR Section 7 / Schedule II recent-experience: carriage of passengers requires takeoffs and landings within the preceding 90 days on type. Landings in a single-engine land aeroplane refresh currency for that class only, so keep separate logs (or clearly typed entries) if you fly multiple classes and want each window visible.
How far ahead can I see my currency lapsing?+
Precisely to the day: the tracker projects when your third-most-recent qualifying landing will age beyond 90 days and prints that calendar date on the status tile. That forward visibility is the practical difference between scheduling relaxed refresher circuits next week and discovering at the aircraft that a passenger flight can't legally happen.
Is there a penalty for letting passenger currency lapse?+
None at all — lapsing is normal and legal, and seasonal flyers do it every year. The only prohibition is carrying passengers before restoring the count. Solo circuits restore it cheaply; what stings is discovering the lapse after promising seats, which is precisely the surprise this tracker's forward-looking expiry date eliminates.
Why doesn't this tool sync to the cloud?+
By design: career and currency records are sensitive, and the simplest privacy guarantee is never transmitting them. Local-only storage means zero servers, zero breach surface and zero subscription. If you fly from several devices, keep one as the master record and move snapshots between machines with the CSV export.
What format does the export use and what reads it?+
A plain CSV with one row per entry and labelled column headers — the most portable format there is. Spreadsheets open it directly, every major electronic logbook can map it on import, and a printed copy is perfectly legible to a human reviewer. Nothing proprietary means your currency record is never trapped here.
