Flight Review in a turbo twin

The flight portion of my BFRs have focused on basic maneuvers, stalls,
slow flight, steep turns, and landings.

These procedures pretty much dictate the engines will go through many
high/low power cycles... Not the best for a turbo'd engine.

If I was you, I would rent a single for the day.

As a CFI I would not sign a guy off in a single for a BFR if I know
his daily flying is a turbo twin. However, we could probably do the
flight review in the twin without putting too much stress on his
engines. Or, he could rent a twin.

You're the CFI, so you can sign off whatever you want, but that doesn't make
sense to me. If a guy who flies B-747's for a living can get his tailwheel
endorsement and have that count as a BFR, I don't see why anyone would draw
a line in the sand as you describe... I don't think that is what the FAA
intended when they created the BFR...

I have a friend with four super cubs, one on amphibs. A 182 with a
canard on the nose, 310 hp and 26 bush wheels all around.
A Spartan Executive. A Caravan and a 210 with a turbine in it. What
should he do his BFR with?

I know you didn't intentionally mis-attribute that, but....

For the FAA or for safety? A review in each plane would not be a bad
idea or at least take the 310 and the Spartan. This issue came up in
some discussions from the FAA. The question was, should you do a BFR
in a C-152 for a guy who only flies his Citation. Legally, you can.
Personally, I would not. The BFR should be made to suit the type of
flying the pilot does. I can't do Citation work in a C-150.

A guess who flys 747's for a living doesn't require a BFR endorsement
but a biannual CFI ride in the tailwheel isn't a bad idea if he flys
tailwheels.
