Is a BFR instruction?

More than one A&P has pointed out to me that there is no difference between
a 100 hour and an annual inspection. We've considered going to 100 hour
inspections and our shop suggested that, since the more frequent interval
was voluntary, he could sign them off as annual inspections. That way we
wouldn't be in a jam if weather or shop load prevented us from getting an
inspection done on time.

We have everything done on the engine that is usually done at an annual
about every 150 hours or twice a year. We also have additional inspections
and tune ups done from time to time.

It is quite relevent. The BFR is specifically an at least an hour of
ground and an hour
of flight instruction. The rule on 100 hours specifically covers
flight
instructors giving
instruction in their own aircraft.

I suppose I should have been more specific. This is Usenet, after all.

You'll note that 91.409 reads "...no person may give flight instructor FOR
HIRE..." (emphasis mine). In other words, it is not the flight
instruction
itself that's a problem, it's the flight instruction as a commercial
operation that requires the inspection every 100 hours.

By the way, it's not a 100 hours, it's a 100 hour or ANNUAL inspection
in
the last
100 hours. Our club NEVER did 100 hour inspections. We just did
annuals every
few months.

True, and a good point. However, I didn't see anyone say that a specific
100 hour inspection was required. Roger asked about "a 100 hour
inspection
cycle", which to me simply refers to the requirement that some qualified
inspection is required in the last 100 hours.
