In a SE plane. Why?

BTW: The FAA has said a number of times that they want to change the
requirements of the BFR to be more like the IPC. They want to add a
section to the PTS for each rating and require the pilot to meet the
table of requirement that will be in the PTS for the rating they hold.
AOPA has argued that CFIs are doing a good job today of making BFRs
"personal" to the pilot. If too many CFIs abuse this, the FAA will get
its way pretty quick.

Thing is a BFR should be personal. It should be tailored to the pilot
taking the review. IOW it should address any weaknesses or things not
done recently. When I sign up for a flight review I tell the CFI what
I need to work on. If he wants to do more that is fine, if he wants to
do every thing in the PTS that is fine too, but we will cover all the
things I know I need to brush up on.
We will do full stalls (departure, approach, and accelerated). If the
CFI is not comfortable with doing that in my plane then I'll get a
different instructor.
