| Subject: | Re: LSA's and FAR 61.319 |
I had my Flight Review last Wednesday in my Kolbra. The CFI knew very little about
LSA's and Sport Pilot. I acted as PIC while he gave me instructions from the
back seat. Not all CFI's are willing to take a ride in a light experimental
aircraft. He had a lot of questions about the aircraft and the 912 engine. Normally
the ground portion takes an hour and the flight an hour. He took 3.5 hours
because he had questions and I let him fly the plane to get familiar with
it. He pulled the power while I glided to a safe landing. I asked him if other
GA pilots were able to make it to the field and land. He told me many needed
a second try as they don't normally pull the power back while in the pattern.
He was very thorough, more than my checkride two years ago. There is something
to be said for all that ultralight experience. All went well and he signed my
logbook. I'm good to go for another two years.

I read your quotes from the Rotax manual, but I do not see where it says anything
about that your prop MUST turn the full 6800 RPM. I think you are misinterpreting
what you are reading. Many props on the 447 do not turn 6800 RPM, that
is quite normal. There is no requirement to turn the full 6800 RPM, and the
temperatures that John was quoting were pretty good. The best indicator,
which is the color of the plugs, is fine, I would not go chasing a problem that
does not exist.

A proficiency check is a testing process and that is what the FAA is proposing
to change in the new NPRM. That is not a Biennial Flight Review. By definition,
a Biennial Flight Review is INSTRUCTION. The FARS specify a minimum of one hour
of ground instruction and one hour of flight instruction to qualify as a BFR.
There is no pass/fail and ANY CFI can provide this service.

Well, yes and no. If you "fail" your logbook shows only dual instruction,
not a completed BFR.

You mean if I smash that rattley old C-150 into oblivion I won't get
my BFR signed off?
Rats!
BTW did anyone notice the C-162 test plane spiraled in? Pilot bailed
out successfully.
Maybe it shouldn't be held in a spin for more than one turn.
I don't know about the rest of youze guyz but after one turn I'm
usually satisfied.

Dana,
In the spirit of friendly hair-splitting.... I say yes and no, to your yes and
no.
Yes, if the CFI is not satisfied with the pilot's performance after the MINIMUM
one hour of ground and one hour of dual, s/he can state this and ask the pilot
to continue with the instruction past these minimums or schedule another instructional
session. The CFI is not required to endorse the pilot's logbook until
he is satisfied, but he cannot stop the pilot from continuing to fly as long
as his/her old BFR is still current.
No, in the sense that an examiner in a proficiency test of check-ride (not a BFR)
can "fail" the pilot and must send paperwork to the FAA stating this. Also,
there are specific procedures for scheduling a re-take of a proficiency test
or check-ride. Neither of these are required for a BFR.

I always liked to do spins. Did 20 turns in a 150 once, then was hugely
amused to read in Flying magazine the very next day that "what it does
after 6 turns is unknown...".
Could be they were doing aft C.G. tests in the 162. That could make a spin
"unrecoverable".
