I'm close to taking the commercial check ride and have recently had a discussion concerning the restrictions placed on a commercial pilot without an instrument rating. Do the prohibitions of carrying a passenger at night or flying farther than 50 miles at any time apply to a instrument rated pilot who is no longer instrument current? On a similar vein, can an instrument rated private pilot in an instrument equipped airplane who is not instrument ciurrent request special vfr at night? It would seem to me that if the FAA required currency in instrument flight, the regulatios could easily have said so and not have to be "implied. "
