Thank your for the reply LTCterry.
the understanding was if not flying an N reg aircraft. The ir/ppc and and line checks done by the airline would suffice to keep the faa licence current as long as faa class one medical is maintained.
Check-Ride/Line-Check Exemption. FAR §61.56(d) states that a flight review is unnecessary if within the preceding twenty-four months a pilot has passed a pilot proficiency check conducted by an examiner, an approved pilot check airman, or a U.S. Armed Force, for a pilot certificate, rating, or operating privilege. This means that a pilot who has passed a check-ride or line-check need not accomplish a flight review for another twenty-four months following the successful completion of that check-ride or line-check.
