Currency Rules

Currency Rules

The following is a clarification of the currency rules which are in place at the Waterloo-Wellington Flight Centre as put forth in the February 2008 Membership Package. The following currency rules apply to all club members. Occasionally, these rules may be overridden, providing the exemption falls within the limits of the overriding insurance policy. All exemptions must be authorized in writing by the Chief Flying Instructor. As a minimum, you must have flown the specific type of aircraft within the past 60 days in order to be current on that type.

C152, C172N and C172S

If you have 150 total hours or less:

If it has been more than 30 days since you last flew the C152, C172N or C172S but less than 60 days, a circuit check is required.

If it has been more than 60 days a complete checkout is required.

If you have more than 150 total hours:

If it has been more than 60 days since you last flew the C152, C172N or C172S but less than 90 days, a circuit check is required.

If it has been more than 90 days a complete checkout is required.

All renters:

Flying the C172S maintains currency on the C172N, provided the pilot has been checked out on the 172N.

Flying the C172S or C172N maintains currency on the C152, providing a checkout on that type had been completed previously.
