Does MECIR renewals mean no more BFRs?
Just wondering whether doing MECIR renewals every 12 months mean you on longer need to do BFRs every 24 months?

Training Wheels,
having just loaded my 5 logbooks into an electronic program and having reflected on the contents, I have only 1 flight logged as a "Biennial Flight Review". I got my MECIR just after that and am about to put myself up for my 23rd renewal (and I'm not in any airline or under a 217 org). This along with my instructor rating and lots of endorsements means that I will probably retire (not for a while yet) with that one BFR in the logbook.

At risk of being picky, they are now AFR's. Same sh*t, different name.
as applicable to the kind of aircraft.
