    in hindsight after he "just received (his) biannual review," and "after a sight seeing flight" resulting in his hard landing, the PIC concluded "more flight time with CFI" states the CFI who signed off on his biannual failed to recognize 10 flight hours and an equal number of landings would result in an accident waiting to happen.

    The video of him porpoising during the landing he made later with no left main gear is worth a watch:

      Did he do that on porpoise? ;) Maybe he was trying to shake the gear down?

      Fixed gear, not retract. Manager had already told him it was gone. Was dangling but the gear leg fortunately fell off on airport grounds instead of on somebody's home.

    Biennial flight review, maybe? Biannual is twice a year.
