Narrative:
I work for a part 121 airline and I'm kept current through them; but instead of six month check rides because of aqp we now do check rides over 9 months. So I keep a log to record approaches so I'm current for general aviation. My friends who work for the airline tell me I'm always current as long as I work for the airline. I use a electronic logbook but my phone broke in march because of covid all the apple stores where closed and I did not get it repaired until may. So I was not able to record my approaches. With the reduced schedules at work and my phone being broke I can't verify I have enough approaches to be current I talked it over with several people and they said I was current because of the airline requirements.which makes sense that if I can go fly an airliner I should be able to fly part 91. Which in most cases is less restrictive. But I filed IFR flight on date. Afterwards I tried to find where I was still legal for part 91 and could not find it. So on the date I got an ipc. To make sure I was legal in the future. But I might not have been current the day before.
