FAA Military Competency Practice Exam

A commercial pilot must complete a flight review or proficiency check every 24 calendar months to act as pilot in command under 14 CFR part 91. This requirement ensures that pilots maintain their flying skills and stay familiar with current regulations and procedures, which is essential for safety in aviation operations. The flight review typically consists of a minimum of one hour of ground training and one hour of flight training, covering essential maneuvers and regulations.

This timeframe of 24 months not only encourages regular practice but also ensures that pilots are up-to-date with the evolving standards and techniques in aviation. Complying with this requirement is critical as it helps mitigate risks associated with operating an aircraft and preserves the integrity of air safety operations.
