Program Outline
Flight Review
Previously known as a Biennial Flight Review, a Flight Review is required for any pilot intending to act as Pilot-In-Command of an aircraft. It is mandated by the FAA to review and refresh aeronautical knowledge and physical skills in an aircraft to keep you proficient and safe.
Whether flying for fun or for hire, you must schedule and successfully complete a Flight Review every 24 months.
- Ground Review includes:
- General operating and flight rules of Part 91
- Cross-country flight planning
- Weather risk-management and personal minimums
- General aviation security
- Federal Aviation Regulations
- Flight Review includes:
- Physical airplane skills
- Mental airplane skills
- Aeronautical decision-making skills
NOTE: A flight review is purely for safety. It cannot be failed. If more time is needed, it will be logged as Dual Received in a Pilot’s Logbook. Once the Flight Review has been completed, the CFI who conducted the training will write an endorsement of completion.
Instrument Proficiency Check
An Instrument Proficiency Check (IPC) is required before an instrument-rated pilot can act as Pilot-In-Command under Instrument Flight Rules, if his or her currency has lapsed for more than six calendar months.
The FAA requires this proficiency test to ensure that pilots retain their knowledge about the aircraft they fly. If your instrument currency has lapsed, you can get it back quickly and efficiently at Sierra Charlie Aviation.

Sierra Charlie Aviation offers a comprehensive two-day emergency procedure refresher course, during which your instructor will go over different scenarios tailored to student needs. We will also cover the following topics:
