UPT in lew of flight review

[ucf_motorcycle]

I haven't had any new ratings in over 2 years. Therefore I need to do a flight review in order to fly on my civilian ticket. My question is will graduating UPT count as a flight review. God knows UPT is worth alot more than a 1.5 hr flight review but I was wondering if it is legal. I can't find any info on this anywhere.

Don't think it can be used in lieu of a flight review. What do you mean by flight review? Are you trying to get current in -172 again?

Just a word of advice from someone who has been there. -172's are very easy to fly, but if you haven't touched one in over 2 years and have done nothing but fly jets in that time, get an instructor to check you out again before you take that little honey from the local Walgreen's up flying. It will save you some potential embarrassment.

Never mind I found it.
Check-Ride/Line-Check Exemption. FAR §61.56(d) states that a flight review is unnecessary if within the preceding twenty-four months a pilot has passed a pilot proficiency check conducted by an examiner, an approved pilot check airman, or a U.S. Armed Force, for a pilot certificate, rating, or operating privilege. This means that a pilot who has passed a check-ride or line-check need not accomplish a flight review for another twenty-four months following the successful completion of that check-ride or line-check.

Oh and I agree I wouldn't fly a 172 right now without an instructor atleast untill I land it a few times without incident.

And since you weren't sure what I meant by a flight review, here it is:
FAR §61.56(c) goes on to say that the flight review must have been accomplished within the twenty-four calendar months preceding the month in which a pilot acts as pilot in command in an aircraft for which that pilot is rated. The authorized instructor must also endorse the pilot’s logbook certifying that the pilot has satisfactorily completed the flight review. A pilot’s demonstration of competency in any aircraft satisfies the requirements for all other categories or classes of aircraft for which the pilot is rated.

but if you get another rating within the 2 years or participate in the Wings program you don't need a review.

also, if you fly the T-1, and get typed in the BE-400 after you graduate, that will also count for a flight review.

I don't fly bug smashers anymore, but you may need a BFR if you are going to exercise privilages of Airplane Single Engine Land, as opposed to Airplane Multi Engine Land. If you are already ME typed it may not matter.

Good luck!

...you may need a BFR if you are going to exercise privilages of Airplane Single Engine Land, as opposed to Airplane Multi Engine Land.

A BFR is a BFR. Doesn't matter in what class aircraft you do it (single vs. multi). So I would assume the AF checkride, whether it's in a T-6 or a T-37/T-1/T-38, would cover single and multi-engine privileges as far as the flight review goes. The 90 day landing currency would be a different story of course.

My question lies in instrument currency. Does an instrument/navigation checkride reset civilian instrument currency if you let the 6 months lapse before doing all of the necessary approaches, holding, and tracking?

With regard to the SEL vs. MEL issue: Lets say that one had a PPL with Airplane Single Engine Land privileges before he went to UPT. Upon graduation from UPT, he got the Instrument Commercial MEL privileges added like everybody else. Is that person now legal to fly IFR or Multi as a private pilot?

Another question. What if you've never had a SEL rating at all but have MEL and ATP; what hoops have to be jumped through in order to get a SEL to fly at my local aero club?
No one around here seems to really know and they keep passing the buck.

Get a single engine add-on? (basically pass a private SEL checkride with the FAA-designated examiner at the flying club.) Sounds kind of wierd, but I think it's probably 10-15 hours worth of SE flying. then the checkride.

That is exactly what I did. Came home, flew a few hours with a cfi then took my commercial ASEL check.
