FLIGHT REVIEW
Welcome!
Pilots need a Flight Review every 24 calendar months to serve as Pilot in Command (PIC) in the U.S. under FAR Part 61.56. Remember, this is not a test or checkride. It is a team effort with a flight instructor to keep you safe, sharp, and sure in the cockpit. The review hits key flying knowledge and skills. You can shape it to match your type of flying. Back from a break or honing skills? A Flight Review keeps you current on airspace rules, steps, and smart choices.
It is important to note that if it's been a couple years since you flew, you might need a few lessons to shake off the rust.
