Quick Question

[SammyG]

I was checking my logbook, and saw that my last BFR review was in Feb of 2003. I think I heard somewhere that a checkride also counts as fulfilling the reqs for a BFR. Is this true? Because my IFR Checkride was in August of 2003, which would mean I'm still current till August of this year, correct?

Or am I way off on this whole thing? Feel free to bash me if I'm totally wrong, because for the life of me, I can't remember how I came under the impression of the checkride qualifying for the BFR, so I could be mixing up some facts.

Thanks.

Your exactly right Sammy. 61.56(d) as follows:

A person who has, within the period specified in paragraph (c) of this section, passed a pilot proficiency check conducted by an examiner, approvoed pilot check airman, or a U.S. Armed Force, for a pilot certificate, rating, or operating privelage need not accomplish the flight review required by this section.

Yep, you're right, the Instrument checkride counts as a flight review. Can we bash you anyway?
