BFR for ASEL in GA Warrior 180 for a Mil PIC with checkride, CIV medical and insurance?

Asked by: 1172 views FAA Regulations, General Aviation

Hello,

Current Military AMEL PIC with a PIC check successfully passed in the last year, I have been asked to fly a Warrior180 for a friend but not sure if I need a BFR first. 

I have a current civilian first class medical, ATP Multi and a Commercial ASEL. 
Thanks for any help in deciphering the FAR around this. My civilian insurance is also good to go for that GA Piper plane. Thanks

    You do NOT need a flight review (BFR).

    If you ACT as PIC carrying someone else in the airplane, then you would need three takeoffs and landings in the last 90 days. If you are acting as PIC carrying someone else in the airplane in the period of time one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise, you will need three takeoffs and landing in that period of time (hour after to hour before) within the last 90 days.

    If you are not ACTING as PIC, then you do not need anything other than what you already have, even if you are the sole manipulator of the controls for the entire flight.

    After rereading my answer, I realized I should have added one other point.

    When I mentioned the three takeoffs and landings, I should have included the words “in class” (i.e. a single-engine land airplane). I does not matter how many recent landings and takeoffs you have in anything other than ASEL aircraft.

    KDS has it right. You do NOT require a Flight Review. He does point out that, if you’re carrying a passenger, there are other requirements.

    The FAR reference for the requirements for a Flight Review is 61.56
    “ (d) A person who has, within the period specified in paragraph (c) of this section, passed any of the following need not accomplish the flight review required by this section:

    (1) A pilot proficiency check or practical test conducted by an examiner, an approved pilot check airman, or a U.S. Armed Force, for a pilot certificate, rating, or operating privilege.”
