Much mention of bfr's. We don't have such things in the UK, although some clubs impose their own requirements. I wonder whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.


I do a BFR every 12 months because I'm not as young as I used to be.


There is no such thing as a BFR and has not been for many years. It is simply called a flight review. Doing it once a year is a good practice, at the very least the flying portion.
All our club members are required to do a spring check before solo flying which is a pretty good practice, we think.
