With flight reviews being the overwhelming method used by pilots to comply with the Part 61.56 recurrent training mandate, it’s no surprise that there are preparation materials available from a number of sources. Our survey of what’s out there uncovered a half-dozen good ones.
AOPA and the Air Safety Institute have a number of videos, online courses and web pages that provide material of benefit to pilots preparing for their FR. Specifically, other than the acting, we like the 34-minute video specifically on the FR as we’ll as the Pilot’s Guide to the Flight Review put together by the Institute. Both provide solid information and are free.
