What is required for night currency to carry passengers?

• A. Three landings to full stop within one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise
• B. Three takeoffs and landings during daylight
• C. Two landings after sunset
• D. A pilot must accumulate 5 hours night flight time

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is night currency for carrying passengers. To be current at night, you must have completed three takeoffs and three landings to a full stop in the preceding 90 days, and all of these must occur during the nighttime window—one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise. This ensures you’ve demonstrated takeoffs, landings, and basic night-handling experience under actual night conditions. The option stating three landings to full stop within that night window matches this requirement because it emphasizes operating at night within the required time frame. It’s understood that those landings were paired with corresponding takeoffs to complete three takeoffs and three landings in the period. The other choices don’t fit because they either describe daytime operations, only two landings after sunset (insufficient for currency), or require a separate accumulation of night flight hours rather than the currency condition.
