For example, I fly 2 approaches on Jan 1, 3 on Feb 10, and 1 on March

I'll be current for 180 days after Jan 1. After Jun 30, I won't be
current because I've only got 4 approaches within the past 180 days
(Feb 10th and March 20th).

I believe your interpretation of the regulations is incorrect. The regulations
say nothing about 180 days. They refer instead to the "preceding six calendar
months". A "calendar month" is like the month of January, or February, etc.

So if we are now at July 31, the preceding six calendar months would be Jan,
Feb, Mar, Apr, May and Jun. So in the example above, you would be current
through 31 July, not 30 June.

Granted that there is a semantic problem if it is July 31; you have done six
approaches in July; and NONE in the preceding six calendar months (they've all
been done in THIS calendar month) (i.e. none since 1 Jan); but I'm pretty
certain of my interpretation.

I do this process using VBA, but I'll see if I can come up with a formula,
also.
