Also, not sure how this works, but if I am continuing my training beyond PPL up to my CFI(I) and eventually MEI does each check ride start my 2 years fresh for when I am due for a review? |
First, it's
biennial. Biannual would be twice a year
Second, each new
pilot certificate or rating resets your flight review. Instructor certificates do not, but based on the checkride, the DPE can sign off a flight review. (If anyone wants to argue that, I'll send you to the AOPA forums where they just hashed this out. I'm not going to argue about it.) If you're planning on going straight through pretty quickly, you obviously won't need to do WINGS, but there's still a lot to be learned from the FAA meetings and the AOPA Air Safety Foundation meetings.
There's also the possibility of a reduction in penalty if you are caught violating a reg if you do WINGS. The FAA inspector guys showed us the rubric they are required to follow and it won't let them reduce the mandatory penalties unless you're participating in an industry safety program, i.e. WINGS
