Last year I wanted to do the BFR in my Lancair. The instructor refused as she was more comfortable in the C-172. So I did. That machine sure flies SSSSSSSLLLLLooooooooooowwwwwwwww. I think she did it to make more money in instruction time. Took about twice as long. Question? It has recently occurred to me that I should be taking BFR's in a complex aircraft and I may not be current in the legal sense. What say you? Bob Smiley N94RJ [As long as you meet the currency requirements for the mode of flight as outlined in the FARs it doesn't matter whether you take your BFR in a complex or simple airplane. Some years ago I was temporarily living in central Wisconsin when my BFR came due... at the time I was mostly flying complex aircraft (Turbo Arrow, Mooney, etc) but took my BFR with John Hatz at the Haymeadow Airport in a J3 Cub... it was a hoot and I got signed off for tailwheel airplanes at the same time. ] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://members.olsusa.com/mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please remember that purchases from the Builders' Bookstore assist with the management of the LML.
