Hi,
is anybody out there who can tell me where best to perform my bi-annual checkride somewhere in the area of Muskegon MI?
I would prefer to be checked-out on a tailwheel airplane, but any other aircraft is welcome as well.

Just to keep the terminology straight, it sounds like you are looking for a flight review, there is no such thing as a bi-annual checkride. One cannot "fail" a flight review as you might an initial "checkride". As for the location part, I would suggest checking flight schools in the Muskegon MI area for a flight instructor rated in the tail dragger, or more correctly conventional landing gear airplanes.
On the other hand it sounds like you are looking to be initially qualified to fly conventional gear, that, of course, is a whole other can of worms.
Bill,
thanks for straightening my incorrect terminology wrt the flight review. I will certainly look for a flight school or an instructor in the Muskegon area.
Concerning the terminology for the landing gear configuration there are several terms in use: Our friends in the UK call it tailwheel airplane which corresponds very well to our German "Spornrad Flugzeug", whereas the terms in use in the US seem to be conventional landing gear and/or tail dragger. However, in the end we are all talking of the same.
But if you call it a bi-annual just about every CFI will know what you're talking about!Just to keep the terminology straight, it sounds like you are looking for a flight review, there is no such thing as a bi-annual checkride.
The opinions and statements of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.
A CFI would recognize biennial but not bi-annual; this why the FAA changed the name to Flight Review, some pilots were trying to take this ride twice a year instead of once every two years.
