BTW, the phrase BFR is no longer used. It is Flight Review (FR).


Wrong. It was always flight review. BFR, like FBO, does not appear in the
FARs. :-) There is no legal definition of BFR or FR. BFR is the commonly
accepted usage and will continue to be until it is required at some period
other than every two years.

Honestly, trying to stamp out "BFR" is as nutty as the attempt to
artificially restrict the definition of "upwind" to a special case was
awhile ago. It matters not that AIM shows a line labeled "upwind." As long
as towers and aircraft have existed, departing traffic has been referred to
as "upwind" by both towers and pilots.
