So that's the big deal source for the folks who treat saying "BFR" as though it were some FAR violation
I know there’s yet another FAA doc that says flatly to stop calling it that, but hell if I can find it.
Memory is failing but it seems to me it’s in a doc on how to conduct the silly FR things? (There’s three or more official documents on that, which is even funnier. None supercedes the other. I know this because I went down that document rabbit hole prior to giving my first FR, one night. Ha.)
Not that I wanted to add to your list — or go down that rabbit hole again — I find the list funny actually.
I may have printed them off in paper. If I get time I’ll go find and dig through the reference box and the long-neglected CFI briefcase.
I just wanted to find it to see what its publication date was.
Hilarious if it’s before any of the above dates.
As I recall, it’s worded in such a way as to be instructional for CFIs as a special emphasis item you would discuss with a person during an FR.
I remember it because the wording really read like a threat that they could be changed to annually required or any other schedule, at any time — that joke I made above wasn’t truly original — it was based off of how that FAA doc sounded!
LOL! Now it’s bugging me. Where the hell did I read that???? All that comes to mind was that it wasn’t an AC, with a nice document number and a sane way to find it. Glossy color landscape thing on some “safety” FAA website comes to mind is all.
But totally written in the format of “this is how you should do a Flight Review”.
I hope I printed it out. Swear I did... it had this whole scolding section about instructors should not let pilots add “biennial” and I found it quite entertaining, mostly because of all the hundreds of threads about it HERE over the years.
I’ll hunt around this weekend and see if I can find it and then the link to the digital version. LOL.
Driving me nuts now. Haha. Mostly just for the entertainment value of sharing it!
