61.56 Flight Review

Lesson Objective

To assure that all Club members are fully compliant with the regulatory requirements (q.v.) for flight reviews, including biennial flight and ground training as appropriate to the member's ratings and status. 

Regulatory Requirement

• §61.56 (No pilot may act as pilot in command without being in compliance with this regulation.)

Content

Review of general operating and flight rules of CFR 14 FAR 91; a review of maneuvers and procedures that, at the discretion of the CFI providing the review, are necessary for the safe exercise of the privileges of the member's certificate. It must include one hour of ground instruction covering part 91. The contents of the ground instruction are up to the instructor to decide. It must also include one hour of flight instruction. If one hour of flight instruction is not practical, glider pilots may substitute with at least three flights "to pattern altitude".

Pilots who hold a current flight instructors certificate are exempt from the one hour of ground instruction, as per 61.56(f).
