Wondering what you all are checking (Y/N) when it asks for current rating in an aircraft. Since type ratings don't expire it seems to make sense to me that checking Y would be appropriate for any aircraft you are typed in. I see no other place on the app to indicate if you are typed in the aircraft. Then again, being typed isn't the same as being current. I have 6 types but the only aircraft I'm 'current' in is my present aircraft so in that sense all other 5 typed aircraft should be listed as 'N' in the current rating box. Am I the only one wondering about this?

This is an interesting question. When I first read the application question I assumed it was asking for IMC, and answered it appropriately. Looking at it again, I can fully see your interpretation of the question.
My problem is that as a military pilot our flights are a mix of VFR and IFR flight plans. I do not have anyway that I can think of to go back and separate the two types of flights after the fact for the last 20 years.
I guess for me, I will just stick with keeping my IMC time there in that block.

This is going to sound really anal but I've even contemplated not checking the Intstrument Rating box because technically ATPs don't have Instrument Ratings anymore (they are required to take an ATP practical test and are by default removed when issued an ATP). But, yea I've noticed if you DON'T check the box, it doesn't let you enter IFR experience.
Same goes with the CFI. My CFI is expired (hence compelling me to not check the box as having one), but I have 1 year/600hrs of dual given which the computer will not let me enter if I don't check the box.

As far as the FAA is concerned, you still have a CFI, it is just not current. Perhaps like a type rating for an aircraft you haven't flown in years. By FAR you can't be the PIC in it until you pass another checkride, but you still have the type.
