Should a BFR be a "Flight Test"?

[nzer]

For what it's worth, a review of Pt 61 in NZ is recommending that the BFR (which we have had for a few years now) be replaced with what was in the old regime a "renewal" - it will be TEST, but training to proficiency will be allowable within the context of the Test - improved syllabi specification - basically a repeat of the issue syllabus for the licence held, OR completion of an AOC holder's recurrent training package will meet the reqmt - improved paperwork/monitoring of the "renewal" system. looks as though the move away from the pure "BFR" concept will have general acceptance.

Helmet Fire,

Thanks for that insight. Better go and have a closer look at my log. Given that my last renewal was with an ATO and the appropriate "sticky lable" inserted in the front, I am continuing to presume that this negates the requirement for BFR.
