Just thought I'd remind you all that you can forget about the Bi annual and wether or not it is legal. Guess we better not talk about that too much anyway, Why don't you all take advantage of the FAA Wings program.. I havent had a bi-annual in 9 years. I was just awarded my phase 9 wings and that is the equivelant of the bi-annual. It is really quite simple. Just attend one certified safety meeting each year, and complete 3 hours of training with an instructor. 1 hour must be on take-offs and landings, 1 hour on instrument work, can even be in a simulator, and 1 hour of air work. The air work can be normal flight manuvers or even aerobatic training. Those four things will earn you your wings. They last for 2 years just like the bi-annual, and there is one other thing, If you opt for wings instead of the bi-annual, you cannot fail. Just have your instructor sign you off and send it to your FSDO... Your sign off for the safety seminar can be done my any FAA safety counselor.... I plan to be at sun n fun , the nationals and also Oskosh... I I will be happy to sign the seminar portion for you. At sun n fun I will be at the FAA preflight contest just outside the forum entrance all week..The FAA seminars qualify and I can certify our own coupe seminars also........ Thanks for listening Bill Coons FAA Safety Counselor Lombard Il.
