Ah, an FAA fellah!

Well, the score with your licence is that it's called a certificate. That's because the airspace belongs to everybody, all you need to do is prove you are competent to fly in it. It's valid until you die because that's the way it works in the US. The problem is, it's not valid for being PIC in the same way.

The flight inspection you refer to is called a Bienniel flight Review (and no taking the michael if I cannot spell).

So sounds like you need one of those. When was your last medical?

You should know this because you studied the FAR's prior to getting your FAA certificate. You will also need to know this if you want your instructor to sign his name to say you have satisfactorilly completed your BFR (no spelling flames).

There is a bit of a banter going on here from the JAA/CAA folk, these posts don't help, we need to put on a more professional front.

If you can't beat them, join them. Eh Rustle
