Biannual without a medical?

[philcam]

I know Part 61 allows a CFI to instruct w/o a medical as long as his is not acting as PIC. HOWEVER, can a CFI give a biannual flight review to a private pilot while the private pilot doesn't have a medical?

Sorta like some students on thier first flight. Most don't have a medical, but can still fly and log this time.......

 

[LewisU_Pilot]

Yes. As long as the CFI has one.

The CFI is not required to have a medical as long as he is not serving as Pilot in Command. If the Private Pilot receiving the BFR does not have a medical, then who is PIC?

Someone legally has to be PIC, and if the Private Pilot does not have a medical, then the CFI must have one.

 

[Resocha]

Yes. As long as the CFI has one.

Nice avatar. I'd like to see your avatar mud wrestle my avatar. I'll give the winner a massage.

I've never heard of a private pilot getting a biannual anyway. Maybe a biennial...?

 

[MTpilot]

yes please, biennials only.

Come on dude, it's not twice a year it's every two.

 

[GravityHater]

hahaha you guys are amateurs at nit-picking. The best of them say its a "Flight Review" ; theyre aint no such thing as "BFR" or "Biennial FR" in the FARS!
Its 61.56, do a search for the word 'biennial'.
Whatever...

 

[brianjohn]

Ummmmm, yeah. I'm well aware that it is just a "flight review" now. What does that have to do with what it was called before?
"Biennial" and "biannual" mean two completely different things. And how is that nit-picking?

"Biennial" and "biannual" mean two completely different things. And how is that nit-picking?

Because neither is accurate. Biannual means it has to be done twice a year. Biennial means it has to be done every two years.

Neither is required. A pilot can go 20 years without a flight review, take one and be good to go that same day.

That's why the FAA got rid of biennial. It wasn't correct to begin with.

 

[brianjohn]

My whole original point is that I've heard of a private getting a "biennial" but not a "biannual."
And without that flight review within the past 24 calendar months, one cannot act as PIC.
Correct???
