aerobat95 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Posted August 21, 2010 Hey guys I have a question for you. I am a military flyer and have a valid/current military flight physical and a current form 8 which is my annual checkride. Do these count for civilian flying? Or do I have to get another physical and accomplish a bi-annual with a CFI? I have heard that the FAA was going to accept the military flight physical and form 8. Anyone have any good info? -Ray Quote
carusoam Posted August 21, 2010 Report Posted August 21, 2010 Ray, Sounds like you are asking two separate government organizations to share information and accept each others documents at face value. Interesting idea... I can't wait to hear a knowledgable response on how this is done.... Best regards, -a- Quote

aerobat95 Posted August 21, 2010 Author Report Posted August 21, 2010 Ok I think I found the answer to the medical question...its in the FAR 61.23....it states there: (9) When a military pilot of the U.S. Armed Forces can show evidence of an up-to-date medical examination authorizing pilot flight status issued by the U.S. Armed Forces and--(i) The flight does not require higher than a third-class medical certificate; and(ii) The flight conducted is a domestic flight operation within U.S. airspace.

aerobat95 Posted August 21, 2010 Author Report Posted August 21, 2010 ok found the answer to the BFR question....FAR 61.56 states: © Except as provided in paragraphs (d), (e), and (g) of this section, no person may act as pilot in command of an aircraft unless, since the beginning of the 24th calendar month before the month in which that pilot acts as pilot in command, that person has— d) A person who has, within the period specified in paragraph © of this section, passed a pilot proficiency check conducted by an examiner, an approved pilot check airman, or a U.S. Armed Force, for a pilot certificate, rating, or operating privilege need not accomplish the flight review required by this section.

Mcstealth Posted August 22, 2010 Report Posted August 22, 2010 I guess then you only need to be checked off on the individual aircraft :). Congrats. Quote
