But it is very prescriptive, read 61.400 again:
(1) For this Part, successful completion of a flight review for a rating on a pilot licence requires demonstration, to a person mentioned in subregulation (2), that the holder of the rating is competent in each unit of competency mentioned in the Part 61 Manual of Standards for the rating.

Yes, the CAAP is obsolete but I have been told to follow it. CASA's information sheet on flight reviews which came out just after Part 61 stated that there was an Advisory Circular on flight reviews but they ignored my requests to get a copy - that information sheet is no longer available and no mention on the website of an AC to replace the CAAP.

That's what 61.400 means in my opinion - demonstrate competence in each unit of competency for the rating! I was wondering when some people in CASA would get around to working out what the new regs meant, I look forward to that new Advisory Circular.
