During a flight review, you are acting as both an evaluator and instructor, and need to do more evaluating than instructing. This describes:

• A. Focus on instruction
• B. Equal parts evaluation and instruction
• C. A balance with more evaluating than instructing
• D. No evaluation

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that a flight review is about assessing a pilot’s current proficiency and knowledge, with instruction playing a secondary role. In this scenario, you’re performing more evaluating than instructing, which matches the purpose of a flight review: verify that the pilot meets the required standards, note areas for improvement, and determine eligibility to continue flying. Instruction may occur to refresh or address gaps, but it isn’t the primary focus. The other options don’t fit because focusing mainly on instruction underplays the essential evaluation, equal parts would imply no tilt toward assessment, and no evaluation would miss the purpose of the review.
