What is the AR 95-1 requirement to stay current as aviator on your airframe?

• A. Flight every 60 days at crew station with access to flight control
• B. Proficiency flight exam every 60 days
• C. Annual simulator check
• D. Ground training every 90 days

Answer: (A)

Currency in the airframe is maintained by flying at least once every 60 days while seated at the crew station and with access to the flight controls. This requirement keeps your hands-on proficiency and cockpit familiarity fresh—you're exercising actual control inputs, cockpit workflows, and the aircraft’s handling, rather than just riding along or reviewing material. If you haven’t flown in the airframe within the last 60 days, you’re not current and would need to complete a flight in the airframe with a rated aviator at the controls before returning to normal duties. The other options describe training or evaluation activities that may occur, but they do not satisfy the specific currency criterion of a hands-on flight in the airframe within the 60-day window.
