FLIGHT REVIEW PREPARATION
A flight review is more than a regulatory requirement — it is an opportunity to sharpen your knowledge and fly with confidence. We prepare you thoroughly for the ground portion so you walk in ready.
GET STARTED NOWWhat your CFI is required to cover during the ground portion of a flight review and how to demonstrate the knowledge standard expected of a certificated pilot.
A focused review of the FARs most relevant to your flying — airspace, currency, equipment requirements, and recent regulatory changes.
Refreshing sectional chart interpretation, airspace classifications, and VFR cruising altitudes — areas that often get rusty between reviews.
Current weather product usage, go/no-go decision frameworks, and aeronautical decision-making concepts your CFI will discuss.
Talking through emergency procedures, abnormal checklists, and how to handle in-flight situations — knowledge your CFI will probe during the review.
For instrument-rated pilots, prep for the oral component of an instrument proficiency check — approaches, holds, regulations, and currency requirements.
We establish whether you need BFR prep, IPC prep, or both — and tailor the session accordingly.
Part 91 regulations, airspace, weather, and any specific areas your CFI is likely to probe during the review.
Real-world scenarios and emergency procedures that demonstrate the knowledge your CFI expects.
You arrive at your flight review with confident, complete answers for every ground topic your CFI raises.
Common questions about flight review and IPC preparation.
The FAR requires a review of Part 91 regulations and general operating and flight rules. In practice, most CFIs also cover airspace, weather, and any areas of concern they identify.
One focused 1-hour session is usually sufficient for pilots who have been flying regularly. Pilots who have been less active typically benefit from 2 sessions.
A BFR (now called a flight review) applies to all certificated pilots. An IPC is specific to instrument-rated pilots whose instrument currency has lapsed and must be completed with a CFII.
Yes. If you need both, your instructor can structure sessions to cover the ground requirements for both the flight review and the IPC oral efficiently.
Ground instruction sessions ensure you arrive at your BFR with strong knowledge — reducing the likelihood of extended reviews or follow-up requirements.
Book a session with a Bootcamp Authorized Instructor and walk into your BFR or IPC fully prepared.
