Interesting, the way these threads go... I see some folks rightously
claiming the FAA didn't INTEND for this or that... The 'intent' of the FAA is absolutely meaningless, and any trial court in the country will tell you that... It is what the reg says that is legally binding - not the intent of the FAA legal staff who signed off on the reg, many of whom will not even be still employed there... The intent of the Bienniel Flight Review (as revealed by the language) is that each of us shall get one hour of flight instruction from a CFI - period.... Presumably the FAA feels that will help with public safety, or maybe not, but that gets us back into the quicksand of intent. In any case, you do the 1 hour of flight review and if the CFI feels that you have met the criteria HE has set (no slight implied Michelle), you get signed off as meeting the regulation... In my case I chose to improve my airplane handling by renewing my acquaintance with cross wind landings in conventional gear aircraft with right hand stick and left hand throttle.. In your case it might be best spent reviewing PAR approaches to minimums - In another case it might be best spent reviewing the proper way to enter the traffic pattern (based on what I see some pilots do) For others some intensive instruction on how NOT to use the radio would be very useful! For others a reintroduction to cross country navigation using only a whisky compass and a chart would pay benefits... When is the last time you plotted a cross country course including compass deviation and variation and wind correction angle (remember those terms? can you define them?) and then flew it... In any case, if the CFI tells me he wants to see single engine cuts at 50 feet, he will remain unemployed by me... cheers ... denny |
