Informal poll re. biennual checks

[gereed75]

Trying to gather some informal data:

How much do you typically pay for your biennial check ride???

Do you take it in your RV????

Appreciate all responses. Please try to limit thread drift. Thanks

Just had mine last week. Slapped the foggles on at 200 feet and did the whole thing under the hood, shot some approaches and got a IPC at the same time. Cost $100.00, not bad.

This will be tough to quantify and you'll get a variety of answers but will certainly get some data.

i know a couple of RVer's that are CFI's and will do it for nothing. Part of our Fraternity I guess. I know of prices from expenses only to $100 per hour.

Lots of variables. For me, my Part 135 check rides each year cover the requirement.

This will be interesting to follow. Great question!!!

I know several too.

I've done my last couple of BFR's in a CFI friend's 1946 Cub... Always paid him with a couple bottles of top-shelf distilled spirits

As a CFI.

I'm usually administering BFR's for friends/family in which case they provide beverages at the days end that we share.

When they are not friends or family I try to barter and I will barter for anything. If I'm unsuccessful with bartering, I'll charge a flat rate of $250.00 to include any and all flights one might need in a 11 month period for any instruction needed for the FAA Wings program as well. If they plan well the can get a FAA Wings certificate near the end and that would count as a BFR as well. No extra charge for their planning and hard work during that 11 month period

...All the beer you can drink at the brewery next door to my hanger (Hanger 24 Brewery) in Redlands, Ca.
Usually not before the review if possible. Allan

$100 in my RV-4.

Lucky enough to have a good CFI who does test flight instruction. Learn something new every time we go up
