You have accomplished 25 takeoffs and landings in multi-engine land airplanes in the previous 45 days. For a flight you plan to conduct today, this meets the PIC recency of experience requirements to carry passengers in which airplanes?

A

Multi or single-engine land.

B

Single-engine land airplane.

C

Multi-engine land airplane.✓ Correct Answer

Explanation

Under 14 CFR 61.57(a)(1), the three takeoffs and landings within the preceding 90 days must be made in an aircraft of the same category, class and (if required) type as the one used to carry passengers. Landings in multi-engine land airplanes satisfy the requirement only for multi-engine land airplanes, not for single-engine land.
