Default Check your BFR renewal date

If you read this today, check your log book tonight for your BFR renewal date. While you're at it, check the medical too.

I was putting in some instrument approaches I did last night with a friend who is a CFI in the log book and thought to myself......self, wonder when your BFR is due. Oh sugar (close enough), it's past!!!!

Called friend and did it this afternoon.

...if you want to renew it in your plane. Mine ran out, and with an expired BFR you cannot be PIC.

Your instructor would then have to meet the PIC insurance requirements of your plane, which might, or might not be, a problem.

If your BFR has not yet expired, then you can be PIC during the renewal flight.

Guess how I found out.... But I solved it with a flight in my instructors C-210....

Default That is obviously a young man problem

Both of mine are due at the end of October 2010. When I get them I thank God for two more years and I am already sweating October 31, 2010.

Default Not a BFR anymore

...and if you want to impress your friends and neighbors, and CFI's, it is not called a BFR anymore, simply called a Flight Review.....

Good point. I'll double check my BFR as soon as I finish the annual on the Moose.

And as long as we're adding to the fire......Would that be a "conditional" annual?

I have a dry erase board mounted in my hangar.

I keep it updated to show when the next oil change, condition inspection, ELT battery replacement, Transponder re-cert, and medical are due.

I also use it to keep track of my "to do" list of minor squawks, improvements, etc.

I find it to be a very good system for the $3 I invested in the board and pen.
