About EASA Night Passenger Currency Tracker
The question "am I legal to take passengers tonight?" deserves a one-glance answer, and that's the whole job of this tracker. The governing rule — FCL.060(b)(2) — at least one of the three takeoffs and landings at night within the preceding 90 days, unless you hold an instrument rating — runs on a rolling window, so yesterday's legality says nothing about next week's. Log your full-stop night 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 touch-and-goes count for night passenger currency?+
No — that's the classic trap. FCL.060(b)(2) — at least one of the three takeoffs and landings at night within the preceding 90 days, unless you hold an instrument rating. Touch-and-goes satisfy daytime recency but NOT the night rule, which demands full-stop landings. This tracker labels the field accordingly so the records you keep here are the ones that actually count when you load passengers after dark.
Where does the lapse date on the status tile come from?+
From the rolling-window arithmetic itself: your currency survives exactly as long as three qualifying landings remain inside the trailing 90 days, so the lapse date is your third-newest landing's date plus the window. Add a fresh session and the date jumps forward; delete one and it recedes — always recomputed, never estimated.
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 at night 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.
What happens to my entries if I clear my browser?+
Clearing site data or doing a full browser reset deletes locally stored entries — that is the price of a genuinely private, server-free design. Protect yourself with the one-click CSV download before any cleanup, OS reinstall or new laptop: re-importing your history later is far easier than reconstructing it from memory.
Can I get my data out if I switch tools later?+
Always — the CSV export is a complete, lossless dump of your currency record, generated locally in one click. Import it into commercial logbook software, archive it in your records folder, or post-process it in a spreadsheet. No lock-in is a deliberate design decision: data you can't take with you isn't really yours.
