I'm wondering how best to obtain a required FAA BFR that is coming up in my "N" registered aircraft in Australia. Usually I have obtained a BFR when visiting the USA, but this may prove difficult this time around.
I was told that the FAA regs allow for a BFR in a foreign country if that country is an ICAO member.
61.56 (c) 1 "Accomplish a flight review given in an aircraft for which that pilot is rated by an "authorized" instructor and...."
61.41 (2) "A flight instructor who is authorized to give such training by the licensing authority of a foreign contracting State to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, and the flight training is given outside the United States."
Am I correct in this reading that I can get a BFR endorsement in this manner? Has anyone done this or had it questioned?
