Title:
Flight Review Preparation - 2025 NW Aviation Conference
Topic:
How to Prepare for a Successful Flight Review
Speaker(s):
Steve Bateman
Brief Description:
Flight reviews are essential to ongoing pilot proficiency and safety—but too often they’re treated as a regulatory checkbox rather than a meaningful learning opportunity. In this seminar, Steve Bateman draws on decades of experience as a certified flight instructor, FAASTeam Lead Safety Representative, and aviation educator to examine the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to preparing for your flight review. Through real-world examples, this session highlights how thoughtful preparation enhances knowledge, risk management, and practical flying skills—and why skipping this step leads to avoidable pitfalls. Steve will guide attendees through proven strategies for effective flight review preparation, with an emphasis on scenario-based training that goes beyond simply “plan the flight and fly the plan.” Whether you’re approaching your next review or conducting reviews as an instructor, you’ll leave with actionable insights to make the experience safer, more productive, and truly valuable.
