Federal Aviation Regulations Practice Test 2025 – Complete Exam Prep

To be considered "current" as a pilot means that the individual meets the necessary requirements to legally exercise their privileges under current regulations. This involves not only having completed required flight training and reviews but also being proficient in all operational aspects related to the aircraft being flown.

Being "current" includes specific aspects such as having a valid pilot certificate, meeting medical requirements, completing a flight review within the past 24 months, and satisfying any currency requirements tied to the type of aircraft operated, such as having recent flight experience and proficiency.

While completing a flight review, obtaining a new medical certificate, or logging a specific number of flight hours are all important factors in maintaining a pilot's readiness and capability to fly, they are subsets of the broader definition of being current. Thus, the comprehensive nature of option A ensures it adequately encompasses all necessary qualifications for a pilot to legally operate an aircraft.
