EASA currency and expiry tracker.
Put your ratings, your language level and your recent landings in one place, and see what is due, when the revalidation window opens, and which rule says so. Nothing leaves your browser.
Everything you type here stays in this browser. Nothing is sent to a server, there is no account, and clearing your browser data deletes it. Use the backup button below if you want a copy you keep yourself.
About you
This switch changes the recency rule that applies to you.
Language proficiency
Enter your ICAO language level and the date it was assessed.
Ratings
One row per class rating, type rating or instrument rating, with the expiry from your licence. The tracker works out when the revalidation window opens for each one.
No ratings yet. Add one to see when its revalidation window opens.
Recent experience
The dates of your last take-offs and landings, newest or oldest first, it makes no difference. Only the three most recent inside the 90-day window matter.
Add a language level or a rating above and the dashboard fills in.

Your tracker profile is saved in this browser, without an account or sign-up. The tracker does not upload your licence dates, language assessment or landing history.
The consequence is that clearing your browser data deletes it, and it does not follow you to another device. The download backup button gives you a JSON file you keep yourself, and restore backup reads it back. Keep that file private, because it contains your tracker profile.
What the tracker computes, and what it reads
The tracker computes language proficiency expiry from the assessment date and level, a revalidation window from the expiry and kind of rating, and recent experience from the dates you flew. Enter rating expiry dates from your licence rather than inferring them from a training or examination date.
The revalidation windows, per rating
A type rating, a multi-engine class rating and an instrument rating are each valid twelve months and revalidate on a proficiency check in the three months immediately preceding expiry. A type or multi-engine class rating also needs route sectors during the period of validity: ten as pilot of the class or type, or one flown with an examiner, which may be flown during the check itself.
A single-engine piston class rating or TMG runs two years and has two routes. Either a proficiency check in the three months before expiry, or the experience route in the twelve months before it: twelve hours of flight time in the class including six hours as pilot in command, twelve take-offs and twelve landings, and at least one hour of refresher training with a flight instructor or class rating instructor. The tracker uses the twelve-month figure as the window because that is the date a pilot actually has to plan against.
Recent experience is a rolling window, not a date
FCL.060(b) requires three take-offs, approaches and landings in the preceding 90 days on the same type or class, or a full flight simulator representing it, before carrying passengers. For pilot in command at night you need one of those at night, unless you hold an instrument rating, which FCL.060(b)(2)(ii) accepts instead.
Because the window rolls, currency does not expire on a fixed date: it lapses when the third-newest qualifying landing falls out of the 90 days. The tracker works out that date and shows it, which is more useful than a yes or no, because it tells you when you have to fly rather than only whether you may today.

Your licence, your operator and your national authority are the record. This is a planning aid that shows the arithmetic and names the rule behind it, and it can be wrong about your case in ways it cannot detect.
Rules that were not verified are absent
Every date the tracker computes cites a provision read from the consolidated Aircrew Regulation. Anything not verified was left out rather than approximated, so a gap here means a gap, not a silent guess.
EASA member states only
UK CAA rules have been regulated separately since Brexit and are close but not identical. National authorities also vary in how some of this is administered, so confirm against your own authority before you act on a date.

Frequently asked questions
Tap to read the full background and answers.- What is the difference between revalidation and renewal?
- Revalidation happens while the rating is still valid and keeps the cycle running. Renewal happens after it has expired, and FCL.740(b) then requires an assessment of whether refresher training is needed, that training if it is, and a proficiency check before the privileges come back. The word on your paperwork changes what you have to do, so the tracker labels an expired item plainly rather than calling it due.
- Does revalidating early shorten my cycle?
- Only if you go before the window opens. FCL.740(a)(1) says that fulfilling the revalidation requirements earlier than prescribed starts the new validity period from the date of the proficiency check. Inside the window, three months before expiry for a type rating, multi-engine class rating or IR, the anniversary is kept. A SEP class rating has a twelve-month experience route, so the useful window there is longer.
- How often is my language proficiency re-assessed?
- FCL.055(c) sets it at every four years for operational level 4 and every six years for extended level 5. Expert level 6 is not re-evaluated at all, which is why the tracker records a level 6 date for your own reference and never puts an expiry against it.
- What is not covered here?
- National variations, UK CAA rules, which have been separately regulated since Brexit, sailplane and balloon licensing under Part-SFCL and Part-BFCL, instructor and examiner certificate cycles, and everything an operator requires of you under Part-ORO. Anything the tracker does not compute is left out rather than guessed at: an honest gap is better than a confident wrong date.

Important information
Every validity period and revalidation window on this page was read from the consolidated text of Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011, version 02011R1178 EN 04.08.2025 024.001, on EUR-Lex, and is cited by provision number on the item it produces. Aircrew rules are amended regularly and national authorities administer parts of them differently, so a rule can change after the date below. This tracker does not replace your licence, your operator or your national aviation authority, and it does not cover UK CAA rules, sailplanes or balloons. Confirm any date before you act on it.
