Do they try to make it hard to understand?
My last flight review was 4/11/09. *The FAR's (61.56) say; *"No
person.......each pilot must have complied with the requirements of
this section since the beginning of the 24th calendar month before the
month in which that pilot acts as pilot in command".
Does that mean the last day of the 23rd month since the month I had
the FR or the end of the 24th month in which I had my FR? *Or in
simple terms, I can be PIC till the end of March or April?
Thanks,

While we are on the subject....time to vent some "instructor peeves"

Many pilots think a glider flight review is about the same as dropping
by the barber shop for a trim....show up, and 20 minutes later, good
to go, you're off...

Typical for me...A busy Saturday at the glider port about 3:30 in the
afternoon...a guy drops in...un announced...."I need a Flight
Review" ... "OK Mr. Doe, *And when would you like to schedule
that?.".."Schedule!? *I need it now!......I am going on vacation next
week, and this is the only day I can do it.....and hurry up...I have a
dinner appointment tonight".....

Visual: *Steam venting from instructor's ears and nostrils...

And I would not do the flight review.
It's already 3:30pm. I need time to get ready, talk with the
individual and find out his normal flying. Is he someone you know and
you see flying all the time? Then a 1hr ground session, so by now it's
5pm and we are just now ready to go to the glider, preflight, mission
review, it's 5:30 by the time we get our first takeoff.

Oh, and the wife is waiting dinner.

So, I have a dinner appointment too, so what day after he gets back
from his trip, would he like to schedule his flight review.
