So this came up during a post-flying hangar flying session last night, and despite reviewing all the FARs we couldn't come to a definite conclusion.
I flew the -10 last week at night and am night current.
I am current in the Cessna 170 (tailwheel current).
So am I current at night in the -170 (in terms of carrying passengers), or do I have to be current at night in a tailwheel airplane?
The 61.57 says you are night current if:
"The required takeoffs and landings were performed in an aircraft of the same category, class, and type (if a type rating is required)."
But a tailwheel is an endorsement, so does currency in the RV-10 (airplane, single engine, land) cover the tailwheel airplane? My reading of the regs is that it does.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
