Is it possible for me to give out a flight review to a pilot who holds an FAA license on a non N reg aircraft? Im a CFII and the person im supossed to give a flight review to is CPL MEI. We are also both rated and hold the approriate pilot licenses for the aicraft on which the BFR would be carried out as well.

Sure. Why not? FAA Flight Review for an FAA-certificated pilot by an FAA authorized instructor in an aircraft that is in one of the category on the pilots' certificate. What else is required by 61.56?

Don't know how sure you can be based on "some guy on the Internet" agreeing with you.
Let me try to clarify...
The flight would be taking place down in Argentina, which is where I live. So to sum it all up. Me and the guy who needs de BFR are both FAA licensed flight instructors. The airplane is registered in Argentina (LV-). We also hold Argentine flight instructor certificates. The one hour ground would be out of the question, but im wondering about the flight portion. Does it need to be carried out in the US, on a N- registered aircraft or not? My first guess was that it needed to be an N registered aircraft, but after asking for some opinions to other buddies I kind of changed my mind...

Possible Subversive
Nothing in the FARs indicate it needs to be a US registered plane or be conducted in America, as far as I know. To stay on the safe side I wuld confine it to airplane types that have been certified in America, even if yours isn't registered there.

Same answer.
cmill's comment is correct, though. The legality of a flight in another country depends on that country's rules. But the rules governing your FAA flight review are the FAA's and nothing says about where or in what aircraft (so long as your are rated for it under US rules) the FR takes place.

Why? An authorized instructor provides at least 1 hour of ground instruction. It doesn't say it has to take place on US soil does it?

There is such a think as over-thinking the regs and reading stuff into them that just isn't there.
