Why did the OP see fit to post the same question in 2 different forums?

According to my 35 year old E-6B, Yes I still know how to use it! Your GS will be 99 knots and your heading will be 83.5 Deg's, if the parameters remain the same.

AFR-BFR Same s*it, different name.

Sort of like DoA-CASA, although these days the motto seems to have changed to
"We're not happy unless you're not happy...."

Is Aeroplane Flight Review correct?

I thought the idea was to reiew the pilot - not the aeroplane!

CR-2 fits in your pocket if so inclined to keep it there. CR-3 much easier to read and hence more accurate for exams. Having said that, I used my CR-2 for ATPLs and passed fine. Put it on the dash one day though and it didn't come out too good

The only difference is the size. CR-3 is the bigger version and thus useful for exams. The CR-2 is designed to fit in your front shirt pocket (and remain there for the entire flight )

My latest ATO said "Aircraft Flight Review" - same diff though.
I'm considering getting one of these CR2's... might as well know both worlds and use the easiest one for each calculation, my E6-B is my good friend I'll say!

I like the CR5 model. It's about a half inch smaller than the CR2 so a little less accurate but the slight reduction in size allows it to fit in a lot more pockets & not just the ones on uniform shirts. Quite accurate enough though - I passed Oz both IR exams (as it was then), Oz SCPL/ATPL exams, US ATPL exam & UK ATPL exams using it.

Sorry to be such a nerd. An aeroplane is a type of aircraft. Just as a helicopter and airship are also types of aircraft. Therefore a fixed wing pilot will do an Aeroplane Flight Review.

However, are AFR's not required for Helicopters etc.? hence "Aircraft"? - Broadening the term over all religions of aviation?
