BFR Time

They say a good pilot is always learning...

The purpose of a Biennial Flight Review (BFR) is to keep a pilot both current and safe. The flight review required by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 61.56 is to provide for a regular evaluation of pilot skills and aeronautical knowledge.

Ground Review


  • Regulatory Review
  • Cross-Country Flight Plan Review
  • Weather & Weather Decision-Making
  • Risk Management & Personal Minimums
Flight Activities


  • Physical Airplane (basic skills)
  • Mental Airplane (systems knowledge)
  • Aeronautical Decision-Making
Post flight Discussion


  • Replay, Reflect, Reconstruct, Redirect
I'll review the regulatory information as I prep for the review. I should really be reading and reviewing more often than I do. I do take all the online FAAST courses and attend local safety seminars when they are available which I believe helps keep me sharp.

I'll get scheduled for August and report back!

    Hmmm....would completion of the flight at least knock out the flight planning portion?

    Actually I'm thinking of calling Paul McCracken at T31 for some chat time about a Bo, also thinking about a Cessna 310 and I found one in Texas.

    There is a nice 310 next to me that could be for sale. Call me if you want the owner's name and number.

    Paul M is no longer at T31, he moved to California to start a new maintenance business there. We're all very sad here.......
