This one is interesting. I'd require him to get it
because he is a licensed pilot, and I'm not soloing
him as a student. I believe this to be more like a
checkout, whereas a BFR is much broader in scope.

Does a pilot transitioning from gliders to power (or
vice versa) need a current flight review to fly solo
in
the new category?

Kind of awkward to require a customer to go get a
flight review in a different cat and class (which he's
rated)
before you can solo him. This doesn't make common
sense,
but if you don't believe he's a student pilot
then he needs a flight review to fly solo/PIC, since
61.56(g) does not exempt him from the requirement.

But hmmm...I don't see any requirement that a pilot
fly in an aircraft in which rated in the Wings program
rules...

So perhaps one can do a flight review this way...
