- FIRC
- FAA Wings Program

Okay let's change that to

You can go twenty years without one, so long as you have one (or it's equivalent) within the 24 calendar months before you act as PIC.

BTW, an FIRC is =not= a flight review equivalent. Renewing a flight instructor certificate only waives the ground portion.
