FAA Flight Information

The flight review (previously the Federal Aviation Administration referred to this as a biennial flight review, usually abbreviated BFR) is a review required of every active holder of a US pilot certificate at least every two years. The flight review consists of at least 1 hour of ground instruction and 1 hour in-flight with a qualified instructor.

Before being able to act as pilot-in-command (PIC) a pilot must have completed a flight review within the previous 24 calendar months. The FAA and instructors are quick to point out that it is not a test. There is no pass or fail criteria, although the instructor giving it can decline to endorse your log-book that a flight review has been completed.

 
 
 
ENDORSEMENTS: A WAY TO EXPAND YOUR PILOTING SKILLS
Transitioning to a high-performance or complex aircraft is one way to increase your skills as a pilot and add new makes and models of aircraft mastered to your logbook.
 
Making the transition also can open up new doors:
A host of destinations that you never would have considered before now seem tangible.
Check out AOPA's subject report on transitioning to high-performance and complex aircraft
( http://www.aopa.org/members/files/topics/transitioning.html ).
 
It includes articles on what it takes to move up and a chart with examples of aircraft that require a
high-performance or complex endorsement.

 
 

If I let my medical expire, is there a penalty if I wait to renew it?

No, in fact nothing in the FAA's Part 61 regulations requires a pilot to continuously maintain a valid medical certificate. You might have a good reason for delaying and not renewing right away because of an existing medical condition, or maybe your personal "to do" list doesn't leave room for a visit to the local aviation medical examiner at that exact time.

The only pilot restriction you'll be subject to by not renewing your medical certificate is that you will not be able to act as PIC within the privileges of a recreational pilot and higher (excluding sport pilot privileges) or as a required crewmember such as a safety pilot. (from AOPA)

 
TRADING PAPER FOR PLASTIC
You can keep your paper pilot certificate forever, but if you want to continue flying, sooner or later you'll likely have to get one of the new, tamper-resistant, plastic certificates.
The FAA last Friday issued a proposal that would require pilots to get a plastic certificate within two years (five years for other airmen certificates) after the regulation is finalized in order to continue exercising their airmen privileges.
The rule would also require aircraft owners to notify the FAA within five days after the sale or transfer of ownership of their aircraft. Some 82 percent of AOPA members said they supported this rule when they were surveyed in 2005, and 55 percent already had a plastic certificate.
The FAA has been issuing plastic certificates since 2003, after the 9/11 terror attacks prompted the agency to act on a proposal published in the late 1980s but never finalized. All pilots can voluntarily request a plastic airmen certificate online, and you can keep your old paper certificate. Ordering a new certificate costs $2, but if you want the FAA to remove your social security number from the certificate or its records, you can get a plastic certificate for no cost.
