SD(61.56) FLIGHT REVIEW
And what does it consist of?
You cannot act as PIC unless, since the beginning of the 24 calendar months before the month of the flight, you’ve completed a flight review in an aircraft for which you’re rated.
Consists of minimum 1 hour of flight training and 1 hour of ground training with an authorized instructor.
(61.56) A FLIGHT REVIEW can be substituted by…
a proficiency check or practical test for a pilot certificate, rating or operating privilege;
a practical test for flight instructor certificate, additional FI rating, FI renewal or FI reinstatement;
one or more phases of the FAA-sponsored pilot proficiency award program (WINGS);
and flight instructor renewal exempts the pilot from the ground portion of the flight review.
