Can the Flight Review with an FAA CFI be done in an EASA reg aircraft?
The pilot needs to be legal to fly the plane within the regs of its state of registry but FAR 61.56 which covers FAA flight reviews does not state that they must be done in a US registered aircraft.
Correct; you can do flight training or checkrides for FAA in any aircraft reg anywhere in the world.
I did mine in an F-reg.
Thanks. To clarify, the below works?
Objective: FAA Flight Review
“Student”: Legal to fly EASA reg. airplane
FAA CFI: Joins “Student” to conduct flight review
The pilot is legal to fly the aircraft as PIC and in doing so is conducting the airborne portion of an FAA flight review with an FAA CFI on board. Where it occurs and the registry of the aircraft are irrelevant to FAA.

Further, 14 CFR 61.51 (j) explicitly allows time to be logged in non–US-registered aircraft.
