I'm due for an IFR Proficiency check and/or flight review ... I don't fly IFR very much so I was thinking of getting a rating on a C208, or a tailwheel endorsement .... will this new rating/design endorsement cover me for my flight review??? or not....
I have been told by someone way senior and w-a-y more knowledgeable than me:
Night rating, instrument rating, aerobatic rating, low level rating - all ratings need to be checked regularly (annually for instruments, every 2 years for any others - bad habits creep up on all of us.
Tail wheel, basic gas turbine (ie C208), csu endorsement - endorsed on a design feature of an aircraft. Yours for life. Only check is whatever is required by the owner / operator of the aircraft you're trying to borrow.
Makes sense to me - well as much sense as any of this does...
