Default Flight Review in a turbo twin


"chad" wrote in message
ups.com...
I own a turbo Cessna 310 and I'm wondering if other turbo twin owners
do their biennial flight review in their aircraft. Is single engine
work required for a flight review if done in a twin? I'm concered
that doing the review in my aircraft may be hard on the engines,
specifically the turbos. Would I be better off to just rent a single
engine for the review?


Explain your concern to the instructor before the flight and make sure he
understands what things you *don't* want done with your engines. Then ask
ask if s/he can give you a flight review without doing any of the things you
consider problematic.

And remember, you are PIC, so you can say "No, I don't want to do that out
of concern for $50,000 of engines.."

If you can't find an instructor who is comfortable with your rules, go ahead
and rent a C-152 or whatever. It'll probably be cheaper than whatever it
really costs you to run that 310 for an hour.
