Flight Reviews

A flight review is an opportunity to reset proficiency, review current operating rules, and make sure your flying habits still support safe pilot-in-command decisions. It is more than a logbook requirement; it is a practical check-in with an instructor.

Dayton Aviation Services conducts flight reviews around your experience level, aircraft type, recent flying, and goals. Ground discussion typically covers regulations, airspace, weather, performance, risk management, and operating scenarios relevant to the way you fly.

The flight portion focuses on the skills that matter most for safe operation, including aircraft control, takeoffs and landings, emergency procedures, navigation, communication, and decision-making.

Frequently Asked Questions

Training

Can I train part-time?

Yes. Dayton Aviation supports both full-time and part-time students with flexible scheduling.

Training

How often should I schedule flight lessons?

Most students make better progress when they fly consistently, often two or more times per week when their schedule and weather allow. Consistent training helps reduce review time between lessons and keeps skills fresh.

Training

What should I bring to my first training lesson?

Bring a government-issued photo ID, any pilot or medical documents you already have, comfortable weather-appropriate clothing, and a way to take notes. If you are starting formal training, the team will also explain TSA citizenship or approval documentation before applicable flight training activities.

Flight Reviews (BFR)

How often do pilots need a Flight Review?

Most pilots must complete a flight review every 24 calendar months to act as pilot in command, unless they meet an FAA-approved alternative. A flight review includes at least one hour of ground training and one hour of flight training.
