121 vs Biannual
I was at an airline for about 1.5 years and my flight review just expired. I am sure because I went through training that I am current. The problem is that my I never logged any of the sim time (no one else did as well) and we are not given SIC types on the Saab. Since I just left there shouldn't I be current for the general aviation world as well? I am a little confused and wondering how to prove to the flight school on paper that I am current. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

I am sure someone else will give more info.
I too tired to quote the reg, but as far as I understand it, a 121 or 135 pc or checkride resets their commercial cert.
then when you leave the 121 world, then you would be good for 24 calander months since your last PC.
Thats the way I undertstand it, and I am sure someone will be nice and post the reg,
One good place to look would be part 61 for your Cert that you hold. That would be a good start.

Thanks, only problem is that I have 0 paperwork to show. The only thing I could thing of is to get the paperwork from my past airline, as long as they are willing to give me something then I guess I would be set. Thanks again.

If you had a 121 or 135 checkride it resets the clock as stated above. If anyone requested proof (FAA, new job, etc...), I think you would be alright refering them to the airline you flew with for a records check. Might serve you well to get a set of your training records from your previous employer

Call your airline's training and records department. You may have to fill out paperwork to get it, but they have records of all of your training events, as it is mandatory that they keep those on file for a given amount of time. Just request that they send copies to you.
A 121 PC is an FAA flight check, so you are current.

I don't have the book handy, but make sure the wording in part 61/91 does not require a PIC flight/proficiency check. That is the case for IFR currency...SIC checks don't count.

All he need do is call his former employer, get the date of his last check, and enter it into his logbook. Presto, good for another two years from that date. If he is still friendly with the folks there, grabbing a signature of the check airman would be a nice touch.
