If there was an advanced, voluntary bi-annual flight review with a comprehensive syllabus and 6 hours of training, would you participate?
How about a little more information on what you are talking about, maybe then people can respond with a more educated answer.Quote:

Hmm. I must be one of those that needs it most as I wouldn't participate. :)
I usually look for a young CFI that needs a learning experience for my BFR. :D We do the required reviews and airwork. Then we go do some really slow SuperCub flying with windows and door open while I introduce them to the rudder and how it's supposed to work.:cool: Next up we learn to use the rudder and tailwheel combination and why it wants to roll out backwards. :eek: Then they usually ask how much they owe and when can they fly with me again. :D

Glenn. Sorry I missed you at Cactus. One of my friends had your card and had been talking to you. Was in the KR that weekend. Maybe I'll catch you at Copperstate. I'll be in the SuperCub that weekend.
You mean like the complete and udder morass the FAA WINGS program has devolved into?Quote:

What do you think?Quote:

No, neither bi-annual nor biennial.
I think the word that means every two yrs is spelled "biennial" and no, I don't do those as I comply with the FAR through other means.Quote:

I have been a CFI since long before BFRs / FRs were required and while people may cuss me and the "NEW" program for FRs, I have had to refuse to sign only three BFRs/FRs since it started in '73. Also it has always been funny for (even CFIs) to call 'em biannuals. That's my 0.02 cents worth.Quote:
