Biennal Flight Review

[Otterjock]

Does a Part 135.293 Airman Competency/Profieciency Check (Form 8410-3) qualify for the "proficiency check" as outlined in 61.56 (d)?

Looking forward to all your responses.

Yes.
".............an approved pilot check airman.................."
Lots of "us" have never had a regular BFR with a CFI.

yes--as long as it's in the same cat. and class of airplane. Just because you have a 135 check in a Lear or 727, that doesn't cover you in the C172. And yes...there are people who fly both types.

How do you figure that? That's not what the regulation says. It says you must, with in the previous 24 months, "Accomplished a flight review given in an aircraft for which that pilot is rated by an authorized instructor." And later, it says you need not accomplish the review if you've "passed a pilot proficiency check conducted by...an approved pilot check airman."

That's it. Nothing in the Flight Review regulation limits you to fly a certain type or class of aircraft. The only requirement would be to do the three takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days -- that is specific to category and class (and type, if rating required). The flight review is not. I haven't been in a 172 in years, but I'm perfectly legal to go fly one by myself, right now.

My bad. Thanks for the correction.
