FAA to JAA conversion and BFR
I apologize in advance if this topic has been discussed before, I've searched in the forum but I couldn't find a definitive answer.
This is my situation: I'm converting an FAA CPL(H) into a JAR CPL(H) in the UK, I've completed the written exams and I started my flight training. My FAA biennal flight review expires in three weeks and I don't think I'm gonna be able to do the skill test before that date. I went to the CAA to ask them if I need to renew the BFR in case it expires before the skill test, they said (I quote) that since I started flying before it expires it SHOULD be alright (even if I wasn't able to find anybody at the licencing office that knew what a BFR was).
Do you have any thoughts on that?
Thank you very much!
