Default BFR?

Absolutely; can be a part of it.

At the discretion of the instructor, the flight and ground instruction

A new rating in another class/category requires the issuance of a new

The BFR is a formalized procedure requiring both flight and ground
instruction. =A0A Self Launch endorsement does not rise to the level

either of the above, so it would not count.

Here is another spin on the BFR question:


If I get a Self Launch endorsement in my log book for my glider
rating, is that
considered a flight review for the purposes of the BFR requirements?


In other words can I substitute a Self Launch Endorsement for a
regular BFR?
