i have 2 questions one is about the flight review, and the other is renting aircraft.?

Question

i just got my PPL 2 weeks ago, and even though i am a long way from my flight review, i was just wondering what will we do on the flight review? Also when i got my pilots license i rented the flight schools plane b/c they knew i had my PPL, but soon i will be renting another guys plane. i know we have to go flying together in order for him to know i can fly a plane. he also needs to see my pilots license. but i need to know what paper work do i need for him, and what will we be doing when we fly??

Answer 1

First off, where did you get a pilot's license? I've been a pilot for 46 years and never had one of those. I've had private, commercial, multi and instrument certificates, but never a PPL.

The only thing you need to rent a plane is your certificate, your medical, and in some cases your log book.

On your BFR, you'll need to demonstrate your piloting skills and put in a little hood time. Mainly, whatever the instructor wants. No biggy.

For JDZA: I know what the bloody initials stand for. What I want you supposed pilots to understand is that I managed to accumulate over 18,000 hours with no mishaps, including combat in Vietnam, by paying ATTENTION TO DETAILS! Since there is NO SUCH THING as a private pilot's license, why the hell do you greenies talk about it as if there is. Keep your ducks in a row, people. You might avoid boring holes in the ground that way. By the way, it's been several years since we've needed to carry the radiophone license. ATTENTION TO DETAILS!

Answer 2

A PPL is short for PRIVATE PILOTS LICENSE. Come on!
You will need your license, medical and maybe a radio license. I've never had to have one to rent. When you fly, you will just do the basics. Stalls, steep turns and pattern work. It will depend on you. If he feels you need more work the more you'll fly until he's satisfied. Don't get worked up for it, it will be a piece of cake.

I stand Corrected. Ray K is right. It's called a Certificate not a License. You will not need a radio lic. either. It's been a long time since I've rented an aircraft. So remember never call it a license or you might bore a hole in the ground.

Answer 3

Ray, how in the world did you fly combat in Nam without a Private Pilot Land? PPL differentiates between land pilot and PPS (Private Pilot Seaplane). I don't recall any combat seaplanes. I'd say the biannual reviews between the two are very different and its good the asker differentiated. Also it is PPL everywhere else in the world, not PP Certificate. When you rent elsewhere they'll copy your certificate or license, give you an hour of ground and go up for some basic stuff. Its no big deal. I've never been asked for insurance or anything else.

Answer 4

First, look in the FAR/AIM for information regarding the BFR. JDZA and Ray K are correct, you will do some basic maneuvers (steep turns, slow flight, stalls) maybe some instrument work,etc. It's up to me the instructor on what we do, but what we do cover is solely dependent on the type of flying you do.

If you fly mostly for fun and on weekends, I might throw in some other items, like emergencies, Basic Instrument Flying or more. And everything you do should be to the PTS standards for the license you hold. If not, I'll recommend you do some more flying to get current. You can't fail a BFR, it's not a checkride, but most people have room for improvement,especially those who don't fly often.

Also keep in mind, there is an hour of ground required by the regulations too. It will be on basic Part 91 FAR regs and some AIM questions too.

The minimum paperwork you need to fly with is your pilots license and a valid FAA medical.

Answer 5

Plan on doing an hour of ground school and steep turns, slow flight, stalls, and emergency procedures. Just remember that a flight review is not a test. It would be a good idea to get renters insurance.

Answer 6

Lighten up you people. If the guy is from across the water, he may indeed have a PPL.
I don't care where you got your license, or certificate, or how many hours you have, if you rent my plane I will require you to take a checkout ride with me, or my chief pilot. Your paperwork must be in order and you will be required to have renter's insurance to cover the deductable on my hull insurance in case of a mishap.
