For a pilot who flies 100+ hours a year in a simple docile aircraft,
the BFR is not recurrent training.


I began flying after the BFR came in, so it seems perfectly natural to
me. Perhaps it's my instructor who makes the difference, but I get a
lot more out of the effort that you seem to.

I fly the same type of aircraft almost always, and most of the time it
is the identical aircraft. It's very easy to fall into shortcut
routines, and something like the BFR is valuable for making you extend
your horizons a bit.

To be sure, I don't fly 100 hours a year, more like half that. The Cub
isn't particularly docile, however, especially upon landing

all the best -- Dan Ford
