Yes he was an examiner.
I will check the biennial thing out with the FAA.
I haven't read it in the FAR that I saw, must have been buried somewhere.
I have an hours check ride every year with an instructor before they rent me their aircraft.
Not being negative but just logging it is open to abuse, that's why I was asking where is it officially recorded on a document & logged with the FAA?
Cheers t
