Does anybody know whether or not a part 141 stage check counts towards a BFR? The stage check didn't get me a new rating, so my first guess was no but I wanted to double check.

Nope, not like a check ride does, but talk to your stage check instructor and ask if you can use it as one as well. Thats the easiest way to find out.
Takes a separate entry and signature.
It may also take more time both ground and flight than a 141 stage check, depending on what that stage check involves.Takes a separate entry and signature.
If you get the instrument,it will count as a BFR,
I don't get a cert out of it, we do the stage check for the IFR Course but we don't get all of our certs until the end of the commercial/multi engine course
How...does that work? Do you take your instrument ride with the FAA or an appointed examiner, or do you take it with your school's chief?
It's part of the 141 program...this particular stage check is taken with the chief CFI or his/her designee.

So here's a question....what if you want to rent an aircraft and go IFR before you get your multi commercial?
You can't, you wouldn't have your cert. You'd have to go with a CFII
Uhhh... yeah - I've never heard of that before. What a strange way to set it up. Locks in the students, I guess, since you've paid for it all, but have nothing to show for it until you finish it all...

Provided the student meets the Part 61 mins, it wouldn't be that hard to just go do a checkride. I've seen students of the combined part 141 programs go do that just so they can do the $100 hamburger.
A combined IR/ME/CP Part 141 course can be developed for completion in less time and for less money than doing them sequentially. That can be of significant advantage to a student with limited resources.Uhhh... yeah - I've never heard of that before. What a strange way to set it up.

So just because they don't want to give it to you, doesn't mean you can't get it. Try to get it from them and save money on a 61 checkride.

It's funny... the combined courses that the bigger schools have can be done for less time, but usually not for less money. The real advantage is that the bigger schools also help students figure out the financing side. The other emerging advantage is the reduced mins to R-ATP.
Thanks guys, I called him up, he's flying for the airlines now and unfortunately it was a stage check for the IFR course so we didn't get steep turns, short/soft fields, etc in.
As long as the flight lasts at least 1.0 hours, it is certainly within an instructor's prerogative to accept whatever is called for in a 141 stage check as the flight portion of a flight review. However, unless it's a final stage check for a Private, Instrument, or Commercial, it probably won't include the minimum one hour of ground training including the "review of the current general operating and flight rules of part 91" called for in 14 CFR 61.56(a)(1). But either way, it will require a separate flight review endorsement in the trainee's pilot logbook.You don't have to do that stuff for a BFR unless its the instructor's personal policy to include all of that. Or, possibly it is the 141 school's policy (I did everything 61 so I don't know).
