just a brief question, can/could a flight review be conducted (outside the US) in an aircraft which is not N-registrated and the pilot only holds an FAA Certificate? Thanks in advance!
 
61.56 doesn't mention anything about the registration of an aircraft. The place I would be looking is where the aircraft is registered to make sure the flight is legal in that country.
 
Thanks for your reply Maurus!

Meanwhile I found out that it's possible, if the CFI conducting the Flight Review holds a current FAA CFI as well as an appropriate and valid foreign CFI license according to the registration of the aircraft being used.
 
unfortunately there is no official reference, you have to refer to the respective Regs which apply to:

a) the pilot receiving the FR (which in this particular case is FAR) and

b) (if it's NOT an N-registered aircraft, which makes the situation difficult, otherwise it wouldn't be a big deal) the Regs of the country in which the aircraft being used for the FR is registered.

Which basically means the person (CFI) giving the FR must hold a current FAA CFI in order to be entitled according to the FARs to conduct the FR and endorse the pilots logbook, as well as a valid foreign CFI appropriate to the registration of the aircraft being used, because the pilot receiving the FR (if only FAA certified) is not entitled to act as PIC on an aircraft which is not N-registered outside US territory.
 
Are you saying that I can't fly a non-US registered aircraft outside of the US. I thought that having an ICAO license made me legal in any other ICAO country (granted that you follow the host countries rules). Am I wrong?

That's exactly the case. A US ICAO license (ie, not a Sport Rating) allows you to fly a US registered aircraft internationally. If you wish to fly a foreign-registered aircraft, you have to have a license from that nation. Some contries the conversion is a simple paperwork drill, others it includes significant training requirements.
