If a recreational or private pilot had a flight review on August 8, this year, when is the next flight review required?

• A. August 31, 2 Years Later
• B. August 7, 1 Year Later
• C. August 8, 2 Years Later
• D. August 31, 1 Year Later

Answer: (A)

A flight review is valid for 24 calendar months, and the due date is the last day of the month two calendar years after the month in which the review was completed. Since the last review occurred in August, the two-year window ends on August 31 of the second year. Therefore, the next flight review must be completed by August 31, two years after this August. The exact day in August doesn’t matter beyond that deadline, so finishing it any time by that August 31 keeps you current.
