I thought any new rating counted in place of a formal BFR.

Oh well, what do I know...

It has to be a "pilot" rating, can't be a "instructor" rating.

The trouble is that some people in the FAA try to have it both ways. The
*flight* instructor is a pilot certificate for all practical purposes --
except when some idiot decides that it is an issue for a BFR.

I use the Wings program. I attend many seminars get a form with sign off, then
fly with a CFI for 3 hours have him-her sign my log book and endorse it. Have
them sign the application/ form and send it to the FSDO, they will issue the
Pilot Proficient Award. This is my BFR.

It does. But instructor certificate and ratings, unlike pilot
certificates and ratings, don't.

Hey! Wait a minute! What rating did you just get?

None. Tradeoff between repairing/replacing the instruments and
the IFR rating.

Guess which won?
