FAA .v. JAR BFR, Warning
Dropped into the local club today to have a word about the usual bi-annual license signoff, to discover that....
- A 90 minute FAA BFR done within my second year DOES NOT now count as a flight with an instructor unless the gent is a also JAA instructor (which, needless to say, they weren't).
Fortunately it's no big deal for me, since I've a couple of months to run and have no problem arranging to fly with a local instructor. But, I thought I'd mention it in case it catches anybody out who leave getting their licence signed until the last minute.
The word "protectionism" was used in the ensuing conversation, and I can't really disagree. Ho Hum.
