I agree Dan,
I want to see good crosswind techniques, centered ball and coordinated flight. To h*** with all that other BS. So now the poor guy knows all about 31.00Hg and still can't do crosswind landings!!!!!!!!!!

Sheesh,

Lighten up on the CFI. Most try and at least make the BFR interesting and beneficial. Yes, sometimes they get sidetracked on issues that they "think" others might be interested in hearing about. Just talking about very basic VFR issues can be pretty boring. As others have mentioned, I bet the BFR recipient and otheres here now know what effect rising barometric pressue has on an altimeter.

And as for seeing crosswind landing technique, that's for the 1 hour in the plane. The above is part of the 1 hour of ground. Not to mention it's supposed to be a review. If he can't do crosswind landings, a 1 hr review probably isn't going to cut it.

Last, what's a Sheesh??
