Default FAA sticks to its guns on not allowing solo glider flight for outof currency power pilots


61.56(c)(1) says it is in an aircraft you are rated in.


Bill, the entire 61.56(c) is excepted by 61.56(e). I see the text before 61.56(c)(1) which reads:

"(c) Except as provided in paragraphs (d), (e), and (g) of this section,"...etc.

61.56(e) refers back to (c) but only in reference to the 24 month period. 61.56(e) specifically negates any requirement for any flight review:

"(e) A person who has, within the period specified in paragraph (c) of this section, satisfactorily accomplished one or more phases of an FAA-sponsored pilot proficiency award program need not accomplish the flight review required by this section."

There is no requirement for a flight review in this case, let alone with any rating. At least as it is stated in 61.56.
