  1. CFI Workshop 7Core Topic 14 Flight Review

  2. Welcome CFIs • We are here to discuss the Flight Review specified in 14 CFR 61.56. • We will review the basic requirements • We will discuss FAA recommendations for conducting an effective Flight Review • This will be an interactive presentation and your participation is encouraged!

  3. Wings Program • The FAASTeam promotes the use of the FAA WINGS Program • Wings provides a general aviation pilot with a continuous proficiency program • Pilots phased in WINGS have fewer accidents! • However, this presentation will focus on the basic flight review that is taken once every 24 months

  4. Objective • Using 14 CFR 61.56, AC-61-98A, and The Aviation Instructor’s Handbook (FAA-H-8083-9A) as reference, we will discuss the basic requirements of a Flight Review • As a group, we will answer participant questions and solicit suggestions on how to obtain the best results for your general aviation clients who take Flight Reviews

  5. 14 CFR 61.56 • Flight Review • 1 hour of flight training • 1 hour of ground training • Must include • A review of current general operating rules (91) • A review of those maneuvers and procedures that, at the discretion of the person giving the review, are necessary for the pilot to demonstrate the safe exercise of the privileges of the pilot certificate

  6. 14 CFR 61.56 • PIC Requirements • Accomplish a flight review in an aircraft the PIC is rated in • Given by an authorized instructor • Obtain a log book endorsement certifying satisfactory completion of a flight review • Must be accomplished since the beginning of the 24th month before the month in which the pilot acts as PIC

  7. 14 CFR 61.56 • Exceptions (Flight Review not required) • Pass a pilot proficiency check by an examiner, an approved pilot check airman, a US Armed Force, for a pilot certificate, rating, or operating privilege • Accomplish one or more phases of an FAA sponsored pilot proficiency program (WINGS) • A CFI who has renewed under 14 CFR 61.197 (1 hour ground training credit) • A student pilot undergoing training with a current solo endorsement

  8. 14 CFR 61.56 • Simulators and Flight Training Devices • Must be used in an approved course by a Part 142 Training Center • Must represent an aircraft or set of aircraft for which the pilot is rated • If not approved for takeoff and landing • The pilot must meet takeoff and landing requirements of 14 CFR 61.57 (a) or (b)

  9. Discussion • Any comments or questions? • Let’s discuss the phrase “At the discretion of the person giving the review” • What does “satisfactorily completed the review” mean to you? • If the review is not satisfactory, how do you log it? • Un-Sat: can the pilot continue to act as PIC?

  10. Planning the Flight Review • Find out the pilot’s flight practices and set up a plan that is appropriate • Should be conducted at the level of certification the pilot holds • Both pilot and instructor should agree on objectives and standards • The goal is to ensure the pilot can operate with an acceptable level of safety

  11. Discussion • What are some of the knowledge areas you find are in need of attention on a typical flight review? • How do you select maneuvers and procedures? • Do you find that most pilots are in need of “recurrent training” to brush up on skills? • Are any “bad habits” observed during your flight reviews?

  12. Best Practices • A flight review is an excellent opportunity for a CFI to evaluate a Pilot’s Decision Making (PDM) skills. • Many GA pilots have not been exposed to the principals of risk management • CFIs can make a contribution to aviation safety by conducting training on this subject if needed

  13. Discussion • Do you agree that aeronautical decision making (ADM) should be evaluated? • How do you do it? • Stall/Spin awareness is a critical component of general aviation accident prevention • Can we say the same about ADM? • Do you practice and teach Single Pilot Resource Management?

  14. Resources • Advisory Circular 61-98A (Currency and Additional Qualification Requirements for Certificated Pilots 3/26/91) • Conducting an Effective Flight Review • FAA-H-8083-9A Aviation Instructor’s Handbook • www.faa.gov/library/manuals/pilot_risk/. • Faa.safety.gov Select: Resources, Library, Airmen/Pilots

  15. Conclusion • Thank you for your participation in this presentation • Flight Reviews are an industry managed FAA monitored currency program for pilots • 24 months is a minimum period for maintaining currency • Please put effort into making the Flight Review count!

  16. Quiz Except as otherwise provided in 14 CFR 61.56, a person acting as PIC in an aircraft must … • Complete a flight review in the category and class of aircraft flown • Complete a flight review in an aircraft in which they are rated within the 24 months preceding the month in which they act as PIC. • Complete a flight review to the Practical Test Standards of their highest certificate held. • Demonstrate instrument competency if instrument privileges are held.

  17. QUIZ True or False • A flight review is not a test or a check ride but an instructional service designed to assess a pilot’s knowledge and skill

  18. QUIZ A CFI planning a flight review should (select the best answer) • Allow the pilot to determine how it will be accomplished • Set precise performance standards and make sure the pilot knows what is expected • Set up scenarios that will test the pilot’s ability to handle unexpected emergencies • Collaborate with the pilot and ensure he or she understands and agrees with the objectives and standards being sought

  19. QUIZ A flight review is an excellent opportunity for a CFI to (select the best answer) • Review pilot decision making skills and provide instruction as necessary in how effective aeronautical decision making can help prevent accidents • Try out new instructional techniques • Get a general aviation pilot’s attention and remind him or her on how dangerous flying can be • Remind general aviation pilots they must pass a test every 2 years

  20. QUIZ If a flight review can not be completed due to a pilot’s unsatisfactory performance, • The CFI should inform the pilot that he or she is automatically grounded • The pilot must return to that CFI for further instruction • The CFI should contact a Designated Pilot Examiner or FAA Inspector for further direction • The CFI should debrief the pilot and provide specific feedback on his or her performance including suggestions on further instruction needed

  21. ANSWERS Except as otherwise provided in 14 CFR 61.56, a person acting as PIC in an aircraft must … • Complete a flight review in the category and class of aircraft flown • Complete a flight review in an aircraft in which they are rated within the 24 months preceding the month in which they act as PIC. (14 CFR 61.56) • Complete a flight review to the Practical Test Standards of their highest certificate held. • Demonstrate instrument competency if instrument privileges are held.
