Type Ride and the BFR

That's just, like, your opinion, man
I'm going to go get checked out in a 172 next week, and they want to know when my last BFR was done. Of course, I haven't done a real BFR since 2006. :) Last October, however, I did a practical test for a type rating in a simulator. Does that count for the BFR?

Thanks!

The answer is yes. 14 CFR 61.56, Flight review reads, in relevant part:
(c) Except as provided in paragraphs (d), (e), and (g) of this section, no person may act as pilot in command of an aircraft unless, since the beginning of the 24th calendar month before the month in which that pilot acts as pilot in command, that person has—(1) Accomplished a flight review given in an aircraft for which that pilot is rated by an authorized instructor and
(2) A logbook endorsed from an authorized instructor who gave the review certifying that the person has satisfactorily completed the review.
(d) A person who has, within the period specified in paragraph (c) of this section, passed a pilot proficiency check conducted by an examiner, an approved pilot check airman, or a U.S. Armed Force, for a pilot certificate, rating, or operating privilege need not accomplish the flight review required by this section.

D'oh, that was easy, thanks. I'm getting to the point where I don't even remember where to look half this stuff up. Sad!
 
Had the same thing last weekend with a 757 CA getting checked out in our 172 - poor guy was struggling visibly squirming, he thought we were going to wipe out the gear!

Slamming on the (non-existent) anti-lockbrakes is also fun

I blew a tire during training at Cape Air because I was used to antiskid in a jet. No harm, no foul. Earned the nickname "Smokey." :yup:

Actually, I'll probably just roll to the end wondering why the autobrakes aren't working. :crazy: I'm a little nervous about this checkout, not gonna lie!

Just wait to flare until you see his hands creeping up towards the yoke in readiness to save the nose gear.

lol! That's great advice.

I did a 172 checkout with a 767 guy about four months ago. He did great, and just had to get used to going s o o o s l o w w w again.
 
I had a check out to do some more instructing in a 150 at a local airport... Even after 1000 hours in the Dash it is hard to get used to dragging your butt on the ground. I didn't bang any on but I found it hard to flare less than a foot or two above the runway.

I nearly went sideways in a taildragger last weekend.

You should have seen my first flight after I got my Citabria out of storage last fall.

I made sure to inspect the lights on both sides of the runway, plus verify the effectiveness of the rudder at slow speeds... all unintentional :)

Made me realize just how heavy-footed and lazy-footed I had become after a couple of years in the CRJ.

That makes me feel better! That was taildragger lesson #2 for me and, although the 3-pointers came naturally, the wheel landings are not!

Awesome!

Glad you are learning to fly with a 'conventional gear' :)

What are you flying?
