Biennial Flight Review
A Biennial Flight Review (BFR) ensures you stay current and sharp, meeting FAA requirements while reinforcing key flight skills. It’s an opportunity to refresh your knowledge, enhance your proficiency, and address any areas where you may need improvement. With a BFR, you’re not just meeting regulations—you’re investing in your safety and confidence as a pilot.
Instrument Proficiency Check
An Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC) is essential for staying current and safe under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). It provides a focused opportunity to refresh your skills, practice key tasks like approaches and navigation, and address any areas that may need improvement. Completing an IPC ensures you’re prepared to fly confidently and competently in challenging weather conditions.
