BFR Tips
I was just wondering if anyone could give me some tips on getting back up to speed for my flight review. The last time I flew an aircraft was April of 06. I went up the other day and the flying part was OK but there are so many small things i have forgotten completely.
I guess what i am looking for is a list of major areas an instrument pvt. should know to get back on track and prep for the BFR. I need to stay out of the airplane as much as possible due to money (of course), so any tips on ways to practice instrument procedures would help a lot too.
I have been searching the forums for answers and have learned a ton from seemingly pointless posts. rock on airlinepilotcentral.

I was off for two years when I ran out of money, and did mine in about 3 hours of total flight and ground. There is a tiny little green book that helps. Honestly, I used flight sim a lot and it helped. I would do more ground work than flying. I the I guess for me is the flying came back quicker and better than did the knowlage part. You could also get the asa pvt. oral test prep. good luck

ASA makes a great little guide to the BFR. I used it to prepare for mine and I was out of flying a lot longer than you have been. It worked wonders for me and got me up to speed. I think it is about $10 and available at most pilot supply shops or Sportys.
As for the instrument side, I agree use the simulator as much as you can. Even Microsoft's flight sim will help you knock off the rust with the procedures. I use MSFS all the time to practice my holds and approaches.

yea i just picked up the instrument oral from asa off a friend...that is really helping. I need to get fs9 again....i lost my disc four and cant reinstall.
What do they hit on the most in the bfr? is it mostly pvt. stuff unless i want to throw in the IFR proficiency check?

In your case, you might be better off doing a bit of FTD work and getting an IPC. An IPC can be endorsed as a Flight Review with the addition of a couple extra manuevers and ground topics, and the requirements for an IPC can be found in the Instrument PTS.
