Welcome
We are here to discuss the Flight Review

specified in 14 CFR 61.56.
We will review the basic requirements
We will discuss FAA recommendations for
conducting an effective Flight Review
This will be an interactive presentation and
your participation is encouraged!
Core Topic 14 - Flight Review Federal Aviation 2 2

April 1 through June 30, 2012 Administration
Wings Program
The FAASTeam promotes the use of the

FAA WINGS Program
Wings provides a general aviation pilot with
a continuous proficiency program
Pilots phased in WINGS have fewer
accidents!
However, this presentation will focus on the
basic flight review that is taken once every
24 months

Objective
Using 14 CFR 61.56, AC-61-98A, and The

Aviation Instructors Handbook (FAA-H-
8083-9A) as reference, we will discuss the
basic requirements of a Flight Review
As a group, we will answer participant
questions and solicit suggestions on how to
obtain the best results for your general
aviation clients who take Flight Reviews

14 CFR 61.56
Flight Review
1 hour of flight training
1 hour of ground training
Must include
A review of current general operating rules (91)
A review of those maneuvers and procedures that,
at the discretion of the person giving the review, are
necessary for the pilot to demonstrate the safe
exercise of the privileges of the pilot certificate

14 CFR 61.56
The flight review is required by

Federal Aviation Regulations
for all pilots who intend to act as
pilot in command of an aircraft.

14 CFR 61.56
PIC Requirements
Accomplish a flight review in an aircraft the PIC is
rated in
Given by an authorized instructor
Obtain a log book endorsement certifying
satisfactory completion of a flight review
Must be accomplished since the beginning of the
24th month before the month in which the pilot acts
as PIC

14 CFR 61.56
Exceptions (Flight Review not required)

Pass a pilot proficiency check by an examiner, an
approved pilot check airman, a US Armed Force, for
a pilot certificate, rating, or operating privilege
Accomplish one or more phases of an FAA
sponsored pilot proficiency program (WINGS)
A CFI who has renewed under 14 CFR 61.197
(1 hour ground training credit)
A student pilot undergoing training with a current
solo endorsement

14 CFR 61.56
Simulators and Flight Training Devices

Must be used in an approved course by a Part 142
Training Center
Must represent an aircraft or set of aircraft for which
the pilot is rated
If not approved for takeoff and landing
The pilot must meet takeoff and landing
requirements of 14 CFR 61.57 (a) or (b)

Discussion
Any comments or questions?

Lets discuss the phrase At the discretion
of the person giving the review
What does satisfactorily completed the
review mean to you?
If the review is not satisfactory, how do you
log it?
Un-Sat: can the pilot continue to act as PIC?

Planning the Flight Review
Find out the pilots flight practices and set

up a plan that is appropriate
Should be conducted at the level of
certification the pilot holds
Both pilot and instructor should agree on
objectives and standards
The goal is to ensure the pilot can operate
with an acceptable level of safety

Planning the Flight Review
Step 1: Preparation
Step 2: Ground Review
Step 3: Flight Activities
Step 4: Post flight Debriefing

Discussion
What are some of the knowledge areas you

find are in need of attention on a typical
flight review?
How do you select maneuvers and
procedures?
Do you find that most pilots are in need of
recurrent training to brush up on skills?
Are any bad habits observed during your
flight reviews?

Best Practices
A flight review is an excellent opportunity

for a CFI to evaluate a Pilots Decision
Making (PDM) skills.
Many GA pilots have not been exposed to
the principals of risk management
CFIs can make a contribution to aviation
safety by conducting training on this
subject if needed

Risk Management Process
Good aeronautical decision-making includes

risk management, a process that
systematically identifies hazards, assesses
the degree of risk, and determines
the best course of action.

Discussion
Do you agree that aeronautical decision

making (ADM) should be evaluated?
How do you do it?
Stall/Spin awareness is a critical component
of general aviation accident prevention
Can we say the same about ADM?
Do you practice and teach Single Pilot
Resource Management?

Conclusion
Thank you for your participation in this

presentation
Flight Reviews are an industry managed
FAA monitored currency program for pilots
24 months is a minimum period for
maintaining currency
Please put effort into making the Flight
Review count!
