2. Have the flight instructor completing the review certify your personal logbook by stating "This is to certify that the skill requirement for ------- (permit or license) has been met". This certification shall include the date and the name, signature, and license number of the instructor. 
3. Successfully complete the written examination Student Pilot Permit or Private Pilot License for Foreign and Military Applicants, Air Regulations (PSTAR); pass mark is 90%. 

The above flight review is valid for twelve months. You need to exercise the PIC privileges of your license within one year of the flight review date to become "recent".

Some Types of Aerospace Careers

What Are Engineers?
Engineers are people who make things work. The work and ideas of engineers make achievements possible. They put power and materials to work. Engineers have moved America into skyscrapers, high speed cars, jets, and space vehicles. They make life interesting, comfortable, and fun.

Computers, television, and satellites -- products of the communication industry -- depend on engineers. Engineers will design safe and comfortable space stations for the 21st century.
