To carry pax at least three take-offs and landings must have been made in the preceding ninety days in the type of a/c to be used for the pax flight.
This has never applied to me as I've never gone for more that three months with a need to carry pax without at least three flights even in lockdown..
But watching a blogger doing night flights ,where only one take off of the 90 day three needed to be at night got me thinking.
Do the three 90 day VFR flights need to be full stop or does T & G suffice? Can't find the answer in Skyway code and am too lazy to fight with CAA/FCL bumf.
Its academic for the single Night flight as you're going to stop anyway.
But supplementary question: Why do the five flights for the award of the Night Rating (or Qualification in my case) have to be full stop?
