Federal Aviation Regulations Practice Test

When is the next flight review required for a private pilot who had a flight review on August 8?

1. August 31, one year later

2. August 31, two years later

3. July 31, two years later

4. August 8, three years later

The correct answer is: August 31, two years later

The next flight review for a private pilot is required to be completed every 24 calendar months, which is equivalent to two years. Given that the pilot had their last flight review on August 8, this means they need to have their next flight review completed by August 8, two years later. The date specified in the answer, August 31, two years later, marks the end of the month. However, the most accurate due date for the next flight review is actually just before the same day, on August 8, maintaining the full two-year requirement without ambiguity. This timeframe helps ensure that pilots maintain proficiency and competence in their flying skills, adhering to the regulations aimed at enhancing safety in aviation operations. It's key for pilots to keep track of these timelines to remain compliant with FAA regulations.
