I am going to go tool around in a 172 later this week, but I am not sure if Im legal............. According to the FAR's "within the preceding 24 months a flight review is not required if one has passed a Pilot Proficiency check conducted by the FAA, an approved check airmen, for a pilot certificate,rating or operating privilage. Well in the past two years I have renewed my CFI on-line and have had two 121 PC's, one of which was for a SIC type rating, does all of this count as my "BFR", or no because it wasn't for a certificate............im clueless please help me out?
Your CFI renewal doesn't count either, except for the 1 hour of ground.
I think you might have got lucky because the SIC rating should count for a BFR (I'm pretty sure). However routine training events, PT's, and PC's normally don't count.
Our competitive banter here on this board can count as the hour of ground.

AOPA's take on the BFR. Haven't read it all yet, but the reg does say "FAR Part 121 Pilot Proficiency Check" as something that can take the place of the BFR. Doesn't specify it has to be a PIC check. The BFR applies to exercising your privledges as pilot-in-command under any part. Its not just a 91 operations issues. There are more stringent requirements for 121 and 135 while supersede the BFR.
Edit: Ok, I read too fast. I just says "passed a pilot proficiency check conducted by an examiner, an approved pilot check airman". Still doesn't distinguish between SIC and PIC checks.

I was in a duchess after a month in the atr and i nearly killed myself thank god i had a good CFI with me. I was in a 172 a month ago and the same thing. you might be legal to go by yourself but trust me you want to take a cfi along for at least one or two trips in the pattern just to make sure your not totally lost.

A 14 CFR 121.441 Proficiency check does meet the requirements of part 61.56(d). All 61.56(d) requires a pilot to do is pass "...a pilot proficiency check conducted by...an approved pilot check airman..." within the preceding 24 calendar months. The tasks required for a 121.441 PC are in Appendix F of part 121 and more than meet the requirements of 61.56(a).
