I am not panicking, just calling a lawyer and getting myself a BFR (that's

Well, you do whatever makes *you* feel comfortable, what your legal
personal limits tell you to do

ACs are advisory. I'm sure the courts would use them to clarify FARs
if needed, but in this case FARs are clear enough:
61.56(e) wants "FAA sponsored pilot proficiency program". FAA's web
site says "this is a pilot proficiency program". Good enough for me.
