The Biannual Flight Review required of all pilots in the USA, except those operating under our Part 103 REAL Ultralight rule, consists of a minimum of two hours of instruction, one of which is ground instruction and at least one in the air. To add to the confusion, the FAA no longer calls this a Biannual Flight Review, merely a flight review that must be completed within the previous 24 months if one is to act as PIC. But we pilots are a simple lot and mostly resist nonsensical change, so we still call it the BFR with many assorted (and sordid) meanings of the acronym.

Your log book is stamped and that is that. It is is when the period has run out that the problem arises. In fact the authorities tell me that Mick Moulai, the UK Kolb dealer, is authorised to re validate . licences. He will be doing the flight testing, hopefully with me aboard (the test has to be carried out with full load) so maybe that can be treated as a GFT and he can put the required stamp in my book. I haven`t talked to him yet. Hope springs eternal.. Regarding immigration. Thanks to everyone who has pointed me in the direction of the Mexican border rather than Ellis Island. Having heard, while I was in the States, a couple of tattooed, bare armed and overweight Harley riders boasting that they were on the way to the Border `to get me a Mexican` on the grounds that `they come here, rape our women and take our jobs. A`hm a vet, an` I aint bin treated right an a`hm going down there to sort it out` I think I will give it a miss.

Pat ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 02:09:46 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Permanent Gap Seal for a Mk-III From: "Kirby Dennis Contr MDA/AL" Kolb Friends - I'm thinking of modifying my Mark-III to have a permanent gap seal. (Presently, my set up is factory stock - gap seal must be removed every time the wings are folded.) Because I store my Kolb with wings folded, I go thru the wing-folding routine every time I fly. Gap seal goes on and off for every flight. At Monument Valley last month, I saw someone's Mark-III (can't remember whose - Boyd's, maybe?) with the gap seal built to remain in place even with the wings folded. The gap seal did not interfere with the wing-folding procedure. This is what I'd like to have. I realize I'll have to rebuild the gap seal from scratch ... not a big deal. Can anyone offer any tips or advice along these lines? Many thanks (in advance) - Dennis Kirby Mark-III, "Magic Bike" in Cedar Crest, NM ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 02:25:32 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: FireFly Tailwheel Spring Failure From: "planecrazzzy" I made my compression springs... a couple of springs , and a little welding wire....

[emphasis added] so you don't have to be PIC to take the BFR but you must have been able to be PIC sometime before the BFR. Clearly this is an area where we should get the EAA to lobby the FAA for a minor rule change. I'll send them a suggestion to add "an authorized instructor, " to 61.56(d). The more people who do the same the better. The idea is to encourage people to get new ratings not punish them financially.
