We are a member of the FAA Safety Team and use the last Saturday of every month to promote safer skies through education. We call these meetings Red’s Mornings and encourage you to join us regularly.

The purpose of the flight review required by the FAA regulation (14 CFR) 61.56 is to provide for a regular evaluation of pilot skills and aeronautical knowledge. AC 61-98A states that the flight review is also intended to offer pilots the opportunity to design a personal currency and proficiency program in consultation with a certificated flight instructor. This is the aeronautical equivalent of a regular medical checkup and ongoing health improvement program.

The FAA has developed an excellent document for conducting an effective flight review. We strongly support this approach and use it whenever we have the privilege of conducting a BFR. If you are interested in reviewing the guidelines that we use for conducting a flight review please read Conducting an Effective Flight Review.
