Not to be overly nit picky...well o.k. I guess I am, this every 24 calendar month review is technically called a "Flight Review" I think they quit calling it a Biennial Flight Review a long time ago and most likely due to the number of CFI's signing them off and "Biannual Flight Reviews" Who the heck wants to do that twice a year? I still see posts on the airports of "Biannual Flight Reviews" with names and numbers of the CFI. Sort of like where do you store your airplane in a hanger or hangar. You see a lot of that as well.

Also, when you sign them off you are a CFI. Dick Ardez who owned Aero Tech on Merrill Field and recently passed away pointed this out to me. Deck was very well versed in the FAR's and no kidding often if the local FAA did not know an answer they would say "Go ask Dick". When I got my multi engine endorsement and he was giving me the check ride and oral, he asked how you sign the books and did not like the CFII. He had me pull out my certificate and read the front which says "CFI"

When you turn it over under ratings it reads "Flight Instructor Airplane Single and multi engine;Instrument Airplane. He was very very adamant about writing only CFI on entries and not CFII.

Again picking nits and a funny ending was on the check ride in his ancient Aztec, we shot the VOR approach to Big Lake. He told me after the missed to turn to a heading that was Northeast. This was before commencing the approach. Oh and he loved to put sectionals in the windscreen to completely cover the windscreen so I had that too. He made you wear a hood. I asked him if I could use foggles and he said "You can wear them too with your hood if you want"

Anyway I go missed and climb up and turn on heading. A long time passes, I mean a long time. I finally peak past the sectionals and the mountains are very near, I glance over to Dick and he is sound asleep...what a dilemma, I reached over and pulled the right prop lever back and made the airplane surge. He came instantly awake and immediately gave me an immediate 120 degree heading change to the left.

Neither of us said anything about it and I did pass the ride that day.

OK I've corrected the subject line of the first post George made some time ago so all future listings will say flight review. However I'm not going to change each and every post subject made to this point. And I'm also not going to correct the word biannual in George's first post. He can do that himself. :)

Sorry, guys! I guess I was succumbing to the colloquial reference, and misspelled it.

I didn't mean to put two "n's" in the description. :lol:

Hey Marathonrunner , not to be overly-overly nit picky , but is it " Dick" or is it "Deck " ? Maybe go back to the "Hanger" and figure that out. :lol:
