First of all can we delete the reference to "BFR" or "Biennial Flight Review". The two REVIEWS are "Helicopter Flight Review" and "Aeroplane Flight Review".
A Test is a "trial determining a thing's standard" where a review is "revision of a subject"
So it is not a test but a review of a persond knowledge and flying ability.
As to the standard that meets a "satisfactorily completed", there appears to be none.
I have had it put to me that the holder of a PPL would need to be able to "satisfactorily complete" to the standard for a PPL licence test.
So if the person undegoing the review only operated his/her C150 or R22 out the back of Bourke, does he/she have to conduct part of the review in a radar envoriment?
To get some standard, most of the flying schools I know off, which conduct flight reviews, have forms (one for PPL and one for CPL) covering the items/sequences to be covered during the review.
Both the pilot under review and the person conducting the review have to sign the form. Protects both parties.
Has anyone still got a copy of the "Guide to the Conduct of Flight Reviews"?
