When is the next flight review required for a private pilot who had a review on September 2 last year?

For a private pilot, a flight review is required every 24 calendar months. Since the last review was completed on September 2 of last year, the next review would be due exactly 24 months after that date.

To calculate the due date, we start from September 2 of last year. Two full years later brings us to September 2 of the next year. However, since flight reviews are due at the end of the month in which they were issued, the end of the calendar month is September 30. Therefore, the next flight review is required by September 30 of the next year.

This understanding of the timing for flight reviews underscores the importance of adhering to FAA regulations and maintaining proficiency within the designated time frame, ensuring that pilots remain competent in their flying skills.
