no_one,
A pretty good (and current) summary.

Folks,
T-28D could tell you a thing or six about his annual flight reviews (mandatory for "key man" insurance) with Flight Safety.
Particularly about slow speed flight and aircraft control, even though the review covers (in his case) Citations and similar.
In summary, the FAA system produces results --- here a biennial flight review (whatever it is called this week) is more and more seen as a revenue opportunity.

Without revealing anything about my background experience, I was recently "told" by one school near Sydney that I would have to do a minimum 5 hours dual before a 2 hour "test" --- something over AUD$2000, with the strong implication that this was a "mandatory CASA requirement" --- you know, the sort of thing that comes out of the CASA CFI/ATO "development" days.

No wonder YSBK is an area untroubled by aircraft noise.

Tootle pip!!
