Additional Aircraft Qualifications
Required Endorsement of a Pilot Logbook for the Satisfactory Completion of the Required FAA Flight Review
How to conduct a Flight Review
1. Replacement of a Flight Review
Completing the FAA Pilot Proficiency Program (WINGS) (One or More Phases)
CFI should verify and certify signing an endorsement A.66 Completion of any phase of an FAA-Sponsored Pilot Proficiency Program (WINGS)
Completing Proficiency Checks and Ratings
2. Pre-Review Considerations
CFI should interview the pilot to determine the nature of his or her flying an operating requirements
Type of Equipment
- Pilot must accomplish a flight review in an aircraft for which that pilot is rated
- Maneuvers and procedures will vary depending on the category
- A glider pilot with ASEL who flew the past 2 years glider but now wants to fly ASEL again, CFI should recommend to the pilot that the flight review should be in a ASEL because the pilot has less experience in that category of aircraft.
Nature of Flight Operations
- Flight review should be different depending on the normal operation of the pilot. If pilot usually fly in a class C close to a class B is different than a pilot who fly normally in a uncontrolled airport in the middle of nowhere
Amount and Recency of Flight Experience
CFI should review the pilot logbook
- Pilot with no experience in 2 years should have a longer flight review than a pilot who flew a week ago
Agreement on the Conduct of the Review
After complete the analysis
- CFI should review these considerations with the pilot
- CFI should let the pilot know how he or she will conduct the review
Instructor Qualification
- CFI conducting a flight review must hold a Category, Class and (if appropriate) Type rating on his or her pilot certificate
- CFI must have a Category and Class rating on his or her flight instructor certificate appropriate to the aircraft in which he or she conducts the review
- CFI should be familiar with all the systems and limitations of the Make and Model of the aircraft that will be used on the BFR
3. Planning and Recording the Review
- Home work for your student
PLANNING
After reaching an agreement on how the CFI will conduct the review, the CFI should prepare a plan of action
The plan of action should include:
- A list of regulatory subjects
- Maneuvers and procedures that the pilot will need to accomplish
- Sequence in which the segments will occur
- Location where the flight instructor will perform
RECORDING
- CFI may wish to record the flight review performance an retain for an appropriate period
- CFI may wish to submit an FAA form 8710-1 in IACRA to AFB-720. AFB-720 will add the application to the pilot’s record
Review of Part 91 Operating and Flight Rules
- Make sure the pilot can comply with all regulatory requirements and operate safely in various types of airspace
Pilot Deviations PD
Pilots should be familiar with
- All types of airspace
- Ground operating procedures
- Best practice to avoid potential PDs
Airborne PD
- Altitude deviation
- Heading deviation
- Airspace violations
Ground PD
- Runway incursion avoidance
- Any other unauthorized operation in the movement areas of an airport
Automation Competency
Occurrences of incidents and accidents due to a pilot’s lack of proficiency with aircraft automations
- CFI should consider the type of automation the pilot regularly uses before establishing the plan of action
- Conducting a check in an aircraft with automations, the CFI should evaluate the pilot’s automation competency
Angle of Attack AOA System
- If the airplane is equipped with AOA Indicator, CFI should evaluate
- Its use
- Correct interpretation
- If the airplane is not equipped with AOA Indicator, CFI should
- Emphasize the importance of this item
- Evaluate the pilot’s general knowledge of aerodynamics principles relating to AOA
Review of Maneuvers and Procedures
Before the flight portion, CFI should review (but not limited to)
- Aircraft systems
- Speeds
- Performance
- Meteorological and other Hazards (wind shear and wake turbulence)
- Operations in controlled airspace
- abnormal and emergency procedures
CFI should review at least in accordance with the ACS or PTS standards
- Takeoffs
- Stabilized approaches
- Landings
- Slow flight
- Stall recognition, stalls and stall recovery
- Spin recognition and avoidance
- Recovery from unusual attitudes
- Operating the aircraft by sole reference to instruments under actual or simulated conditions
CFI should make a plan of action that can include whatever maneuver the CFI things necessary in accordance with the preview analysis
- 91.103 Preflight Actions (NWKRAFT)
- W&B
- Completing a flight log
- Filing a flight plan
CFI should not only evaluate, also instruct if the CFI identify some weaknesses
4. Post-review Considerations
CFI should complete the summary and evaluation portion of the flight review and Debrief the pilot
CFI should have a effective critique and evaluation as describe in chapter 5 of the Aviation Instructor’s Handbook
Unsatisfactory Completion of the Review
- A BFR is not a checkride
- If a pilot fail to meet the standards to pass the flight review, instructor should log the hours as dual instruction given, not as a failure
- The CFI should offer to the pilot a practical curse of action in order to train and meet the ASC - PTS standards
Satisfactory Completion of the Review
- CFI should endorse the pilot’s logbook with the endorsement A.65 from the AC61-65 certifying that the pilot has satisfactorily accomplished the flight review
- Flight and ground time must also be logged in the pilot’s logbook in accordance with 61.65(a)(1)
Required Flight Instructor Records
61.189
B. A flight instructor must maintain a record in a logbook or a separate document that contains the following
- The NAME of each person whose logbook that instructor has endorsed for SOLO FLIGHT PRIVILEGES and the DATE of the endorsement
- The NAME of each person that instructor has endorsed for a KNOWLEDGE TEST or PRACTICAL TEST, TYPE OF TEST and RESULTS
C. Each flight instructor must retain the records required by this section for at least 3 YEARS
