Can 135 check rides replace BFRs???
 

Does anyone know if a 135 checkride can substitute for a BFR??? I havent seen anything in the regs that says it does...I know it would make sense that it would...but you never know with the FAA.

Yes. 61.56(d)

Yep. Havent done a BFR in my life.

Teezy,

There was a discussion about this in the Aviation Law section. However, it pertained to SIC type rated pilots getting their checkrides in lieu of a BFR. Not sure if it will help, but here it is:

What I thought was odd when I first saw 61.56d was that they didnt specifically say "121 or 135." But that is what I figured they meant, but I never like to ASS-U-ME (assume) the FAA is using common sense.

61.56(d) says, "A person who has, within [the past 24 calendar months] passed a pilot proficiency check conducted by an examiner, an approved pilot check airman, or a U.S. Armed Force, for a pilot certificate, rating, or operating privilege need not accomplish the flight review required by this section.

So . . . in a word, "Yes."

i was wondering the same thing

That is usually a safe thing to... assume... lol (cue humorous drum beat)

Couldn't help myself, sorry lol :D

In addition keeping yourself 135.340 current is a basis for renewing your CFI. All you need is to fill out the 8710. I haven't taken a Flight Review or paid to renew my CFI in a while.
