BFR - Biennial Flight Review
FAA General Biennial Flight Review Information
The flight review (previously the Federal Aviation Administration referred to this as a biennial flight review, usually abbreviated BFR) is a review required of every active holder of a US pilot certificate at least every two years. The flight review consists of at least 1 hour of ground instruction and 1 hour in-flight with a qualified instructor.
Before being able to act as pilot-in-command
(PIC) a pilot must have completed a flight review within the previous
24 calendar months. The FAA and instructors are quick to point out that
it is not a test. There is no pass or fail criteria, although
the instructor giving it can decline to endorse your log-book that a
flight review has been completed.
