rickyrhodesii · February 7th, 2006, 13:08

Sorry, i'm being kinda lazy...could someone direct to where the FARs talk about a flight review or flight currency?

Thanks!

61.56 & 57?

Here's another site, courtesy of AOPA

Windchill · February 7th, 2006, 14:12

Wrong again! Biennial is when you can speak to languages.

http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/biannual disagrees with you.

semiannual is twice in one year. The way I remember this is the Victoria's Secret Semi Annual Sale when they show lots and lots of tv commercials. If they did it only ever other year, I'd want to shoot someone.

Read again ... what you posted actually does agree with me.

Semi-annual is twice in one year ... as is biannual.

Per your definition source:
BIANNUAL

Quote:

biannual
One entry found for biannual.

Main Entry: bi·an·nu·al
Pronunciation: (")bI-'an-y&(-w&)l
Function: adjective
1 : occurring twice a year

Which is incorrect usage for the context of a flight review. As I stated above a flight review is BIENNIAL.

Per the M-W Dictionary:

Quote:

biennial
One entry found for biennial.

Main Entry: bi·en·ni·al
Pronunciation: (")bI-'e-nE-&l
Function: adjective
1 : occurring every two years

Semiannual/Biannual are synonymous.

On more important matters ... the heavy campaign ads should be shown monthly.

Per the M-W Dictionary:

Wow, did you read the second definition or just stop cold at the first

2 : BIENNIAL 1

There you go!

Look at biweekly for example:
biweekly

2 entries found for biweekly.
To select an entry, click on it. biweekly[1,adjective]biweekly[2,noun] Main Entry: 1bi·week·ly

Pronunciation: (")bI-'wE-klE
Function: adjective
1 : occurring twice a week
2 : occurring every two weeks

Bi can mean "twice" or "every second".

Yes, I did ... and I contacted Merriam-Webster to let them know about their mistake .... j/k

We just helped illustrate precisely why the FAA dropped/is dropping the phrase BFE in exchange for ... "the flight review."

Nick · February 7th, 2006, 15:18

Why anyone is quoting other words, I don't know.

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=biannual

(1) Happening twice each year; semiannual.
(2) Occurring every two years; biennial.

First Class medicals must be renewed twice each year, biannually.
Flight Reviews take place every two years, biennially.

Grabo172 · February 7th, 2006, 16:32

It's a moot point anyway... it's not called "Biennial" or "Biannual", it's just a "Flight Review" and it's due every 24 calender months....

§ 61.56 Flight review.

(a) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (f) of this section, a flight review consists of a minimum of 1 hour of flight training and 1 hour of ground training...

... (c) Except as provided in paragraphs (d), (e), and (g) of this section, no person may act as pilot in command of an aircraft unless, since the beginning of the 24th calendar month before the month in which that pilot acts as pilot in command, that person has—

(1) Accomplished a flight review given in an aircraft for which that pilot is rated by an authorized instructor and

(2) A logbook endorsed from an authorized instructor who gave the review certifying that the person has satisfactorily completed the review. ...

come on guys. did you understand what he was talking about. i sure hope so. who really gives $%^& if his grammar or choice of words was off. all this crap about spelling lately is beginning to drive me insane. if you have that much time on your hands then go find something to do like watching the victoria secret commercials.

SteveC · February 7th, 2006, 17:16

There's a *shift* key on each end of the keyboard that will allow you to capitalize the first word in each sentence.

If you so desire.

(BTW, which channel airs the V.S. commercials?)

Yes we all know what he is referring to. But with that being said......There will come a test/DE etc....where his exact choice of words will matter. Some will be picky.. Kind of like the 2 years/24 calendar months......We all know the answer, but the books says.......calendar months.

Tomatoe, Tomato, etc.........

Suprised TonyC didn't attack this one

We "grammar goon squad" exist to help individuals learn, and present themselves in a professional manner. Take note of the amount of networking that has taken place on this board ... what we do here on a daily basis is to help each other out ... from learning how to use proper grammar/punctuation for resumes and cover letters to hooking each other up with jobs. It may seem insane, but it has a purpose.

No, no! Biannual does not mean two languages, it means you swing both ways, or can talk to multiple woman at once while riding a unicycle!

No it's not "due" every 24 calendar months. So long as we're talking semantics anyway, that, I think, is part of the reason that the FAA dropped biennial. Not folks confusing biannual and biennial, but because biennial implies exactly what you said - that you have to do it every two years.

You don't. You can go twenty years without one, so long as you have one at within the 24 calendar months before you act as PIC.

Not necessarily ... if you skip flying for twenty years ... and earn your instrument rating, for example, after you return, you're good for another two years.

- Flight Review
- Pass a Proficiency Check for a Certificate, Rating, Operating Privelege (anyone care to elaborate what defines an appropriate "operating privelege" to satisfy the requirement)
- FIRC
- FAA Wings Program
