CASA Part 61 - Private Flying for ATPL pilots under cyclic programs
I have a question regarding private flying under the new licensing system.
After reading (skimming) through Part 61 I have been thinking about the legalities of private flying.
As a pilot who is checked under a cyclic program, am I required to conduct a flight review to fly outside of my employers operation? (i.e Private flying)
Anyone who has had a good look through the new regs might have an answer.

Assuming you mean private flying in a light single or twin, you wil have to do a flight review every 2 years for the multi engine or single engine 'class' rating, as your type rating specific cyclic program's don't cover the lighties.
That's my understanding so far...

I am an airline pilot successfully participating in a cyclic training and proficiency program. Do I need to do a separate flight review?
You do not need to do a separate flight review to fly the type of aircraft covered by your cyclic training and proficiency program.
However, you will need to complete a separate flight review to fly a different type of aircraft or an aircraft in a different class.

So lets get this right. I fly for a living. I fly a combination of multi crew turbo prop and single pilot twin turbine.
Occasionally - maybe once a year I take a 172 for a family scenic when they are in town. In order to this now I an going to have to undertake a BFR in a 172 to prove to a 200hour CPL that I am safe for my hour long jolly!

CAN YOU HANDLE SILENCE?
MMM
How much forced landing practice do you get in your regular flying work? Are you confident you could get safely into the field that you choose if the silence happens, or will you end up in the ditch, rocks or trees at either end?

You'll find you need quite a bit more than 200 hours and a CPL to conduct a flight review. There are inherent qualities of light singles and twins that just aren't relevant to twin turbine >5700kg. Forced landings, crap single engine accountability, etc. I think this is quite reasonable. It's an hours check ride every two years (providing you are what you're cracked up to be). Flying jets doesn't all of a sudden make you Bob Hoover in a 172

If I can't make the field, don't worry I'll be hitting the softest possible object with the lowest safe forward speed!

How hard is it, to maintain a glide speed?
Ridiculous new rule.

What a load of crap!
Reading that it would seem to suggest that if an Airline Pilot flies a twin occasionally and a single they would need to do their cyclics plus a twin engine class flight review plus a single engine flight review. To keep a night VFR then one of those would need yo be at night.
An IR renewal would cover the reviews as now?
In the USA you only need to do one class, and it can be in a glider!
Here I need the glider review every year as well!
This might shut up some of the bleating from GA flying schools, plenty of extra work for them.

But yes, it is my understanding that an airline pilot will have to do a flight review to fly lighties. A good thing in my experience, if only to cover the differences between unregulated* VFR & RPT IFR.
* Well, almost unregulated. Comparatively speaking...
We have also been advised by work that our Instrumepnt Ratings are now not able to be used outside of work and a separate rating will have to be maintained for all non airline flying.

Tankengine - flight reviews can be performed independently of a flying school now under Part 61, as can formation, spinning and aerobatic endorsements. Training for the issue of a licence or rating needs to be completed through a Part 141 or 142 holder, the rest simply needs an appropriately rated instructor.

Oktas 8, I did read the rules, that is where it said each class of licence needs a seperate review!
I agree with what you say CASA says, one review should do it.
Like I said before, in USA I do it in a glider to tick the boxes for all VFR flying.
Thanks Roundsounds, so I need to find an old mate to have a jolly with me and sign me out every two years.

No, but a 172 isn't exactly the friggin space shuttle either!

So, if I hold an ATPL, and operate under a CTPP, and hold an RAAus pilot certificate which is current - do I still need to do a flight review to fly a GA registered single?
When I am issued with a Part 61 license is it only the highest category of license that is transferred? On my current license I still technically have a PPL and CPL qualification as well as the ATPL.
