Good explanation
Ok it seems pretty clear then. You just need to know where to look. They dont make finding the rules very easy do they.
Do you have a link for where I can find that rule.

You can find it by following the link under "regulations" on the FAA's website, www.faa.gov.
Meanwhile, here it is in its full glory, with the relevant section highlighted.

stuart,
The BFR also involves an hour of "ground", and it's important you get up to speed with the regulations you will be expected to know when exercising the privileges of your new certificate. A good book to peruse is Guide to the Biennial Flight Review: Complete Preparation for Issuing or Taking a Flight Review by Spanitz. ISBN 1560274441 and available on Amazon.co.uk for around £8. Get the FAR/AIM while you are at it. The instructor should expect you to know the answers to all the questions you have just asked, or at least know where to find the answers if you don't know them, and now you know where to look you have no excuse

Now back from NY clutching my certificate. Got off the plane at JFK and commandeered a taxi. He charged me $16 (meter) for driving me to FAA and waiting outside and then the standard $45 from Kennedy to Manhattan. Had to get him directions from the taxi rank to the FAA building though (never say bad things about London Cabbies;-))
The receptionist quickly found me an inspector who talked me through the application from having checked my licence,medical, log book and letter from Oklahoma.
He then gave me guidance on the things I should be recording in my log book in case they ever ramp checked me( mainly the number of take offs and landings for passenger carrying currency), reminded me that I needed a BFR before I could exercise the privileges of the licence, told me to expect the licence in the post after about 100 days, shook me by the hand and we parted friends.

Thanks for that
The guy I spoke to led me to believe I could walk to the FAA building from the airport terminal but of course I will have a suitcase as I am going for a week.
Things required then are:
FAA Letter
Logbook
Medical Certificate
UK PPL
Anything else??
Great. Hopefully will have done my bit in 3 weeks time.
