I cut this from the ASA discussion group, I lurk there
and cannot find a link to register to post. This is
not an attempt to backdoor the poster, just asking
this question:

If a pilot is still current while receiving a BFR,
the instructor is not the pilot in command? And if
the pilot receiving the BFR is still current, then
instructor does not need a current annual?
Curious about this.

That's correct. In such a case the flight review could not include
simulated instrument flight since the instructor, or safety pilot,
must be qualified to act as pilot in command while the pilot flying is
under the hood. (For gliders no medical is required so the situation
does not apply.)
