Default Staying current overseas

As long as you are not flying while overseas.. no problem.. the BFR expires
and you cannot act as PIC in a US registered aircraft until you complete the
Flight Review. If you are flying overseas on your US certificate, normally
the foreign ICAO country requires you to maintain standard US requirements.

You could go 20 years... and not fly.. and only need the CFI to sign off a
flight review.. granted the smart CFI will do more than just the minimum 1hr
ground and 1hr in the air to make sure you are safe.

Suppose a US certificated pilot is in Europe for a couple years, and
the flight review becomes due when they're there. Does it complicate
the process to get the review in the US months or even a year after
the deadline? I'm figuring my chances of finding a FAA CFI in Europe
isn't something I can count on.
