Setiap penerbang yang bekerja di maskapai penerbangan baik yang berada di bawah part 121 atau 135 harus melakukan ujian berkala setiap 6 bulan untuk Pilot in Command dan 12 bulan untuk awak yang lain (part 121.433 Training Required) atau 12 bulan dan 6 bulan jika di bawah part 135 (part 135.471).
Nah, sekarang bagaimana dengan penerbang general aviation (GA) yang hanya menggunakan part 61 dan 91 dalam pengoperasiannya? Para penerbang ini termasuk penerbang glider, penerbang helikopter yang mengikuti part 91, penerbang hobi termasuk pesawat swayasa, penerbang penarik glider, penerbang penyemprot, dan penerbang sipil lainnya.
Para penerbang ini harus melakukan check atau ujian setiap dua tahun sekali atau 24 bulan yang disebut dengan flight review. Karena dilakukan dua tahun sekali maka sering disebut Biennial Flight Review. Tujuan dari Flight review adalah untuk menyediakan suatu evaluasi secara berkala dari keterampilan pilot dan pengetahuan penerbangannya. Flight review juga dimaksudkan untuk meningkatkan kemahiran pilot dan menjaga pengetahuannya agar tetap berada di standar yang cukup untuk penerbangan yang aman. Berikut kami sajikan FAQ tentang flight review dari CASR 61.56 dan sumber-sumber lain.
Siapa yang bisa menguji anda?
Semua penerbang yang memiliki rating instruktur dan rating pesawat yang bersangkutan bisa menguji anda.
Apa saja isi flight review?
Apa bukti flight review?
Bukti anda melakukan flight review adalah tanda tangan instruktur di logbook anda yang menunjukkan bahwa anda sudah selesai melakukan flight review.
Bagaimana melakukan 1 jam terbang flight review untuk penerbang glider?
Karena terbang dengan glider belum tentu bisa mencapai 1 jam, maka keharusan untuk melakukan minimum satu jam terbang di glider dapat diganti dengan minimum 3 kali terbang glider. Setiap kali penerbangan harus melakukan 360° turn.
