Flight Review: “New things in Aviation” ideas

Asked by: 1575 views , ,
FAA Regulations, Flight Instructor, General Aviation

Hey team - 

I have recently done a few flight reviews (formerly BFRs) with very, very experienced pilots.  Although we cover what is required by regulation during the ground portion, I find that it is not extremely productive for the client pilot.  So I'd like to start incorporating some topics to catch more experienced pilots "up to speed" with what's happened in aviation over the past several months/years if they were not paying attention.  (example, had an ex-ATP who wasn't very familiar with new ADS-B requirements since she never had to pay much attention during her former career).  I would spend 10 minutes or so covering these topics.  I wanted to ask this group if they had any good ideas for topics of this nature.  ADS-B comes to mind since it is relatively fresh, new avionics technology,   Accident case studies could also fit this,  anything else?

    One thing I recently added to ADS-B is when and how to request permission to fly into rule airspace with an aircraft that is not ADS-B Out equipped. It needs to be transponder equipped with a mode C, but use the FAA ADAPT tool https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/equipadsb/adapt/

    Also when and how to do a RAIM check.

    Take a look at the FAA’s publication “Conducting an Effective Flight Review”. You can Google and download a copy of it.

    If they are highly experienced/proficient but have been out of the saddle for a few years, maybe a brush up on ICAO flight planning.
