Review flight for FAA CPL lisence!

Asked by: 2328 views Commercial Pilot, FAA Regulations, Flight Instructor

Hi,

I am a holder of CPL single engine license.
Could you please tell me what are the requirements in order to get a valid CPL single engine license?
I was living in Greece and i was out of cockpit for a several years.

I did a few flights with friends and I am in a good shape.

I would like to do all the necessary training in order to meet the requirements according regulations and get a valid license again.


What are my options in Greece?


Could i do the training with a pilot (FAA cfi certified) and Greek registration plane?


How many hours do i need according air law?

I appreciate any advice and help.


Thanks in advance

    Dear Sir

    Greetings ,

    as far what you need to do is as follows

    1- Make sure you have your Medical certificate with you and valid in accordance with the FAR 61.23 if not valid , go ahead and carry out a medical check so you can obtain one.

    2- all what you need to do is carry out a BFR (Bi-Annual flight review) as per part §61.56 however in that part it states that it should be a minimum of 1 hour of ground school and 1 hour of flying but wait these minimums can be only for the actively flying pilots who fly alot.

    in your case and if i was your instructor i would do the following

    get some ground school subjects with you reviewing that you still have a good command of your airspace that you are flying at , Flight Planing , Weight and Balance and some general aviation knowledge since you’ve been away from aviation as per your statement for so long years (Remember BFR is there just to ensure that once you are out there you are safe to fly)

    for the flying part it will be general maneuvers and handling and that you have the the needed skills of carrying out a safe flight from takeoff to landing no issues.

    so maybe we are looking for 3 to 5 hours ground , and 5 to 10 hour of flying or until your FAA instructor feels ok and comfortable to sign you off and fly back up in the blue sky’s

    for the last part of you want to fly an airplane which is in Greece and hold a Greek tail numbers i cant really say anything about that you have to go back to your CAA to check
