Flyer Currency System

Overview

The flyer currency system ensures flyers maintain their skills through regular practice and assessments. The system tracks flight activity and manages currency status for different flyer levels.

Eligibility Requirements

• Member must pass Flyer Level 1
• Excludes Flyer Safety Brief skill

Currency Management

Daily Cron Process

• Runs every day
• Tracks member flight activity
• Manages notification and currency status

Flight Activity Tracking

1. 150 Days Threshold

   • Member not flown in last 150 days
   • Triggers 1-month notification period

2. 172 Days Threshold

   • Member not flown in last 172 days
   • Triggers final week notification

3. 180 Days Threshold

   • Member not flown in last 180 days
   • Member becomes uncurrent
   • Requires currency renewal

Currency Renewal Process

Checkbox Requirements

A flyer regaining currency completes recurrent checkboxes for every skill they have already passed — not collapsed by “level” but by each individual skill in each track. The flyer ladder runs as three independent tracks branching off Level 1 (see Skill levels → Flyer levels), so a flyer’s renewal set is the union of skills across the tracks they’ve actually progressed in.

The renewal checkboxes, ordered by entry → track depth:

1. Flyer Level 1 — required by every flyer.
2. Backflying Level 2 — only if the flyer has progressed in the Static or Dynamic track at any level (Backflying L2 is the gateway to those tracks).
3. Static track — for each Static level the flyer has passed: Static L3, Static L4, Static L5.
4. Dynamic track — for each Dynamic level the flyer has passed: Dynamic L3, Dynamic L4, Dynamic L5.
5. Formation track — for each Formation level the flyer has passed: Formation L2, Formation L3, Formation L4. Independent of Backflying L2.

A flyer’s checkbox set is the union of the above for whatever they hold. Examples:

• Flyer with only Level 1 → 1 checkbox (Flyer Level 1).
• Flyer with Level 1 + Formation L2 + Formation L3 → 3 checkboxes (Flyer Level 1 + Formation L2 + Formation L3). No Backflying L2 because they haven’t entered the Static/Dynamic tracks.
• Flyer with Level 1 + Backflying L2 + Static L3 + Static L4 → 4 checkboxes. Backflying L2 is required because Static is in play.
• Flyer with Level 1 + Backflying L2 + Static L3 + Dynamic L3 + Formation L2 → 5 checkboxes spanning all three tracks.

Skill Assignment Rules

• Skills can only be requested or assigned at the next level within the same track (Static L3 unlocks Static L4, not Dynamic L4 — see the track-substitution rule).
• Backflying L2 must be held to request any Static or Dynamic skill above Level 2.
• Currency must be active for the flyer to be assigned new skills in any track.

Display Logic

• Chart and logbook show skills/levels as uncurrent based on passed levels
• Visual indicators for currency status
