SFAR 73 flight review.

Asked by: 2370 views Helicopter

Hello everybody! I'm a Student Pilot and I need clarification about SFAR 73.

If you hold a Private Pilot Certificate and you have less than 200 flight hours total time in helicopter and more than 50 in R22, when do you have to perform your flight review? Is it an Annual or Biennial flight review?

Thanks guys!

    My understanding is that ANY helicopter pilot with less than 200 hours in helicopters, regardless of the model or models flow would need an annual SFAR review for the R-22. Also, that one in the R-22 would not satisfy the need for one in the R-44.

    So, even if you had 195 hours in an R-22 (and no other helicopter hours), you would been the review annually.
