Stay current

Fly legally and with confidence

Every pilot needs a flight review every 24 calendar months to act as pilot in command. If your instrument currency has lapsed, an Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC) brings you back. We tailor each review to your experience and the flying you do.

  • Flight review with at least 1 hour of ground and 1 hour of flight
  • Instrument Proficiency Check to the FAA standards
  • Refresher training for returning pilots
  • Aircraft checkout in our training fleet
  • Endorsement in your logbook when complete

Returning after a long break? We can build a refresher plan before your review.

How it works

A review built around you

We focus on the areas that matter most for your flying, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.

01

Book and prepare

Tell us your experience and goals. We send a short list of topics to review before you arrive.

02

Ground review

Cover current regulations, operating rules and the maneuvers you will fly.

03

Flight review

Fly maneuvers and procedures with your instructor until you meet the standard.

04

Logbook endorsement

Receive your flight review or IPC endorsement and recommendations for practice.

FAA currency

Know your currency requirements

The FAA sets these minimums under 14 CFR 61.56 and 61.57. Meeting them keeps you legal; regular practice keeps you proficient.

Not sure where you stand? An advisor can review your logbook with you.

FAQ

Flight Review FAQ

Quick answers about staying current.

Talk to an Advisor

No. A flight review is training, not a pass or fail test. If you need more practice, your instructor will continue training until you are ready for the endorsement.

Yes. Passing a practical test for a new certificate or rating generally satisfies the flight review requirement. An FAA WINGS phase can also count.

If you have not met instrument currency in the previous 6 calendar months, you have 6 more months to regain it with a safety pilot or approved device. After that, you need an IPC.

Yes, in many cases. Contact us with your aircraft details and we will confirm.
