To all active Gyroplane CFI's out there:
The regulations in 61.56(c) state that a Flight Review must be accomplished in an aircraft for which that pilot is rated...(unless, of course, they accomplish one of the other stipulations in 61.56(d)(e)(g).)
I have had several discussions with pilots who accomplish the Flight Review in a gyroplane and they only hold Airplane SEL Licenses. I told them that I believe the Flight Review is not valid and they are breaking the regulations because they are not accomplishing the Review in an aircraft for which they are rated.
My question to you gyroplane CFI's is this: Are you providing your services to pilots for Flight Reviews when they are not rated in rotorcraft - gyroplanes and if so, what is the reference you use?
I have some phone calls into OKC and my local FSDO. I'll be interested in hearing your perspecives...
Thanks,
Scott
