What's the bi-annual flight review all about?

I haven't been through one in over twelve years; you can avoid the
thing
altogether by a combination of getting new ratings and participating in
the
FAA Wings program (http://www.faasafety.gov/WINGS/)

I considered the Wings program, but seemed so much quicker and easier to
just take the BFR.


It probably is quicker to just do the BFR. But the idea was to recognize
participation in a greater amount of "continuing ed" and a lot of the
wings seminars are interesting--even for some of us who are not currently
aviating.


Agreed, but they should give more credit for participation, and focus more
on teaching than testing.
