Read my other BFR post for background.......
Two scenerios and then a couple questions..........
BFR pilot 1
Private pilot maybe 150 hours, builds homebuilt experimental stuff, wants flight review in 172 that he did primary training in. Hasnt flown 172 or asel in 3 -4 years. Wants review primarily to practice taxiing homebuilt stuff around uncontrolled field in proximenty to class C, as well as the option to take some local sightseeing flights with family. He was very weak in radio comms, and had a hard time with boldface emergency items. AFter about 3 hours ground...(he was knowledgable of the book stuff) and four hours flight I signed him off. His landing became very smooth and consistant, he had good feel of the aircraft in all modes of flight, and after banging the boldface items and singing them with him untill he was able to go throught them appropriately in flight and i was confident he could put it down in a cornfield. We did basic airwork with stalls and demonstrated competancy. We flew into two class c areas and worked on radio comms and entry requirments. My concern was airspace because of the proximenty of class C to his home field. He was not completely articulate on radio but after practice was conststanyl able to get the "who where and what" of basic radio procedures, and comfortable he wouldnt fly into class c unknowlingly and could call them if he needed help. He had no intention of flying in any class C intentionally. Throught the entire process he had good attitude was happy to go home and review/read (gave him take home open book review like test)
