Flight Reviews can vary greatly between individuals.   A Flight Review for an active and current pilot, who flys somewhat regularly, will be different than the one for a pilot who hasn't flown in 20 years.   The basic requirements for the completion of a Flight Review are spelled out in FAR Section 61.56:

So what does that mean?

If you are an active pilot, who fly's somewhat regularly, a Flight Review would typically consist of the following:

The Ground Instruction portion will mainly be a review of the material covered by Part 91. I will e-mail you a worksheet (In Microsoft WORD format) that will literally walk you through the information you need to review in the FAR/AIM.    We'll also discuss issues that the FAA has deemed Special Emphasis Areas (i.e. Runway incursion avoidance, Airspace, etc...).   Finally, we'll discuss any topic that YOU want to discuss; a flight review is a tremendous opportunity to learn.  Have a question about Weight and Balance, or Aircraft Performance; now is an excellent time to ask it!

The elements of the Flight Instruction portion of the Review can vary, depending on your certificate level.   The important thing to remember is that a successful Flight Review should be a team effort between the pilot and the CFI.

Together, we will decide which maneuvers you will practice during the flight.   ALL maneuvers will be thoroughly briefed BEFORE we get into an airplane. Some obvious items to review would be:  Stalls, Landings, Go-Arounds, Emergency Procedures, Unusual Attitudes etc....

If you happen to fall into the "Haven't flown in 20 years" category, you will most certainly want to accomplish a few training flights before doing a formal Flight Review.   Since every case is different, please feel free to give me a call and we can discuss your particular situation.
