1 hr confidence:
maintain pilot currency Explanation: I would distinguish between proficiency and currency: when you fly the minimum hrs required for a specific task (e.g. night formation with NVGs) you may still be current but in no way proficient. And Inübunghaltung is about being current. At least in the context I know. |
