Good luck!

1. 1) You want to take your friends up for a night flight to tour the city in your Cessna 172. In the past 90 days, you've logged 4 night touch-and-go landings and 2 night full-stop landings in your plane. Can you take your friends on the flight?

   To meet night takeoff and landing experience (61.57(b)), you need to make at least 3 takeoffs and 3 landings to a full stop between 1 hour after and 1 hour before sunrise. Since you've only performed 2 night landings to a full stop, you're not night current to carry passengers.

2. 2) Several months later, you want to take your friends up for a daytime flight in a Cessna 172. In the past 90 days, you've logged 2 night full-stop landings, and 1 night touch-and-go. Can you take your friends on the day flight?

   For daytime currency, landings do not need to be made to a full stop (61.57(a)). In addition, night landings count toward daytime currency - 61.57(a) doesn't specify a time landings need to be accomplished.

3. 3) You've been flying a Piper Seminole (multi-engine aircraft) for flight training, and you've logged 37 daytime landings in the past 90 days. Can you take friends on a daytime Cessna 172 (single-engine aircraft) flight based on the multi-engine landings you've logged?

   FAR 61.57 (a)(ii) says that your takeoffs and landings need to be performed in an aircraft with the same category, class, and type (if type rating is required). Since you've logged landings an "Airplane, multi-engine land" and a Cessna 172 is an "Airplane, single-engine land", your landings don't count. You'll need to log three landings in the 172 before taking up passengers.
