Dubbleweight:
the BFR/AFR is one of the greatest rorts ever inflicted on private pilots.
sure in airlines they do recurrent training on the complex machines that they fly but perpetual checks on pilots of simple light aircraft. give me a break.
and you wonder why the flying environment is dead and in terminal decline.
what clueless morons you all are to support the clueless CASA bull****.
I hope you are a MS flight Sim pilot and can never get your hands on a real aircraft.
The BFR is merely a subset of the checking and training that is applied to RPT pilots every few months. Do you wish to suggest their checks are BS too?
Personally, I have been asked where to check the oil on a C172 by a pilot much older Nd more experienced than I. His excuse? "Haven't flown this type for a few years".
