2. Presented By Mike Bamberg, CFI, MEI, II, G cfi_mike@theflightinstructor.net Ken Foote CFII kenfoote@kenfoote.com

3. BFR Requirements • One hour (or more) ground review of general operating and 14CFR91 rules. • One hour (or more) flight review of maneuvers and procedures. • If successful, CFI written logbook entry as shown in AC61.56E • CFI should keep a written record of what was covered and results.

4. Unsuccessful Result • Candidate must understand and believe that the performance was sub-par. • Candidate must understand and agree that standards articulated are reasonable and appropriate. • Otherwise, candidate will find an “easier” CFI to get the BFR.

6. Scenario-Based Training (SBT) • Training is more effective, if • It is realistic and authentic • Effective scenarios evaluate • Situational awareness • Systems understanding • Decision making • Aircraft control

7. Creating a scenario • Determine what skills will be evaluated • Define where in a flight those skills are used • Script the scenario to create the proper situation • Define open-ended questions to stimulate thought and decision-making

9. Determine what skills will be evaluated • What is the pilot’s normal flight “mission” • Local, long x-country, $100 hamburger • What are the boundary skills to the flight • Common ones can be constantly evaluated • Where does the pilot want to improve? • Flight review is a training opportunity • Flight review is NOT a test • Other skill needs may appear during the review

10. Where are specific skills used in a flight? • Preflight • Ground maneuvers and take-off • Climb-out and enroute • Navigation and altitude selection • Alternates and weather • Airport approach and landing • Securing and debrief

11. Script the scenario • What will you simulated and how • What will occur “naturally” • Is the order of “events” realistic • Will the workload overload the pilot • Is it safe • How will you introduce the event

12. Creating open-ended questions • The answer should not be Yes/No • There may not be a “Right” answer • Good questions often begin with • How • Why • What • When

14. Practice • Flight review scenario • Pilot does frequent, long xc • Pilot flies alone on most trips • VFR only • Owner aircraft (you are familiar with the model and equipment) • Destinations are major metropolitan areas

16. Skills to evaluate • Weather and trip planning • Passenger briefing • Enroute weather analysis • Effects of various system malfunctions • Selecting appropriate alternate airports • Approach and landings at non-towered airports • Short/rough field landing

17. Scenario creation • Destination Boise, Idaho • T-Storm build-up over eastern Oregon • Introduced by statement • Electrical system failure (simulated) • Turn off various pieces of equipment as identified by pilot or declare them inop • Ask various questions to determine that pilot understands the need for diversion • Evaluate decision process for selecting airport

18. Typical questions • How can we check the weather enroute? • Have them demonstrate call to EFAS or monitoring HIWAS or perhaps XM • Declare t-storms built up across route of flight • Now what are our choices? • Why would you do that?

19. Summary • SBT is a more effective training process • It can also be fun • For the CFI it takes • Preparation – collect information • Planning – organize the scenario • Practice – try it on every flight
