I got my pilot's license just over two years ago, in August 2007. Every two years, pilots have to get take what's called a "biannual flight review". It's one hour of ground instruction and an hour of flight to check you out and make sure that you're still a reasonable pilot. I guess to keep people from getting too stale and then going out and flying and hurting someone.

So I had my first biannual yesterday. It went very well; the landing practice that I did a month ago really paid off. I'm much more comfortable in the 172.

So I'm signed off and legal to fly again. The wife and I need to pick someplace to fly to as a trial run; it's just a matter of where.
