How often must a pilot complete a flight review according to current requirements?

A pilot must complete a flight review every two years to ensure they maintain their flying proficiency and are familiar with current regulations and procedures. This requirement is established by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to promote safety in aviation, allowing pilots to demonstrate their flying skills and knowledge of aviation principles and regulations.

This two-year period is designed to encourage pilots to remain active and engage in flight training or practice regularly. By requiring a review less frequently than twice a year, it offers flexibility while still emphasizing the importance of ongoing skill development and regulatory knowledge, which is crucial for safe operation in the aviation environment.
