FLIGHT REVIEWS
Required every 2 years, as per CFR 61.56… a flight review consists of a minimum of 1 hour of flight training and 1 hour of ground training. The review must include:
(1) A review of the current general operating and flight rules of part 91 of this chapter; and
(2) 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.
The flight review presents and excellent opportunity to sharpen your piloting skills and refresh your knowledge. We are available to conduct flight reviews at our facility or yours, in our aircraft or years.
