What is the double Zero Rule?

• A. If a member does not perform any flights for two months, all flight activity will be applied to the 3rd month and succeeding months as Banked Time.
• B. If a member does not perform any flights for two weeks, nothing happens.
• C. If no flights for two months, all activity is lost.
• D. The rule does not exist.

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how flight time is handled when there’s a two-month lull in flying. The double Zero Rule means that if a member does not perform any flights for two consecutive months, the flight activity that would occur is carried forward as Banked Time into the third month and the months that follow. In practical terms, you don’t lose progression—the time becomes a credit you can use later, helping you meet monthly flight-hour requirements when you resume flying. Short gaps, like two weeks, don’t trigger this, and the rule does exist.
