Is a BFR instruction?
If a CFI owns and airplane and gives primary or instrument instruction in
it, it has to be on a 100 hour inspection cycle since he is providing the aircraft for instruction. How about if he only uses it to give BFR's? Does that put it under the 100 inspection requirement? -- Roger Long |

It seems that about every BFR I have received.. it was logged as Dual
received. FAR61.56 ... "a flight review consist of a minimum of one hour of flight training and one hour of ground training ... " looks like training to me.. sooo...

My understanding is that the inspection requirement stems from the commercial nature of the operation, not the instructional nature. So, while I personally consider a BFR to be instruction, whether it is or not is irrelevant for this question. Pete |

A minimum of 1 hour ground training and 1 hour flight training is required
for a BFR, if the BFR is not successful, it is logged as training only without the BFR endorsement. So no matter if the student passes or fails the BFR, it is still training received and if the CFI involved is the supplier of the airplane, the airplane must comply with the 100 hour inspection rule. -- Jim Burns III Remove "nospam" to reply "Roger Long" om wrote in message ...

My understanding is that the inspection requirement stems from the commercial nature of the operation, not the instructional nature. So, while I personally consider a BFR to be instruction, whether it is or not is irrelevant for this question. 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. 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. |

The FARs require, "1 hour of flight training" for a CFI signed BFR. My
understanding is any plane used for training requires a 100 hour if there is a charge for the airplane time. I suppose you could get away by not charging for the airplane. The bigger issue is insurance. If I give instruction to anyone in my plane that is not an owner of the plane (named on the policy) there is no insurance. So if you forget the landing gear and you have a student in the left seat (yes, seat position does make a difference to the insurance companies) there is no coverage.

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. Pete |

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. -- Roger Long Peter Duniho wrote in message ... "Ron Natalie" wrote in message . .. It is quite relevent.
