For a flight today, if you have accomplished 25 takeoffs and landings in multi-engine land airplanes in the previous 45 days, what type of aircraft can you carry passengers in?

• A. Single-engine airplanes
• B. Multi-engine land airplanes
• C. Helicopters
• D. Gliders

Answer: (B)

To carry passengers in a multi-engine land airplane, a pilot must demonstrate recent experience, which includes having accomplished a specified number of takeoffs and landings within the preceding 45 days. The fact that you have completed 25 takeoffs and landings in multi-engine land airplanes meets this requirement, therefore, you are qualified to carry passengers in that same category of aircraft. This requirement ensures that a pilot maintains proficiency and is familiar with the specific flying characteristics and handling of multi-engine aircraft. Pilots who have not met the recency requirements with respect to the specific aircraft type they wish to operate cannot carry passengers to ensure safety during operations. While the other options may seem valid for other contexts, they do not reflect the qualifications needed for carrying passengers in multi-engine land airplanes based on the recent experience stipulation.
