Does a 61.75 FAA PPL need a BFR

FAR 61.56 which covers FAA flight reviews does not state that they must be done in a US registered aircraft

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

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.

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

I did mine in an F-reg.

Correct; you can do flight training or checkrides for FAA in any aircraft reg anywhere in the world.

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.

As Peter says: I did my BFR with a French FAA CFI earlier this year. I would also have done an FAA IPC here, but as it happens I visited the US and did it with my (former) instructor over there.

Yes; you need an FAA CFI or CFII.

Is it still possible to make the flight review in Europe to get your FAA certification valid every second year?
So I can fly legal on my FAA Piggyback in an N-Reg aircraft?
