The recency required for flight review or pilot proficiency check to act as PIC is valid for

• A. 12 months
• B. 18 months
• C. 24 calendar months
• D. 36 months

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is how long your recency to act as PIC remains valid after completing a flight review or pilot proficiency check. You must have completed a flight review within the past 24 calendar months to act as PIC, and the same 24-month window applies after a pilot proficiency check. If more than 24 months have passed since the last flight review or PPC, you can’t act as PIC until you complete another flight review or PPC. In other words, this recency period is two years, not one year, eighteen months, or three years.
