When reviewing my logbook on Date 6; I discovered that what I thought was a BFR completed on Date 2; was an IPC only. I did however complete a BFR on Date 1; eight months before the IPC. I made two flights after Date 3; one on Date 4 and the other on Date 5. I believed at the time that I made these flights that my last BFR was completed on Date 2; and thus that my next BFR was not due until Date 8.However; since I only completed an IPC on Date 2 (and not a BFR); even allowing for an extension provided by the SFAR in response to the COVID-19 health emergency; it appears that I made two flights after my previous BFR (the Date 1 BFR) expired.Upon discovering this inadvertent error; I immediately contacted my flight instructor and scheduled an appointment to complete a BFR with him today; literally one day after discovering my mistake.In order to prevent this from happening again; I have calendared the due date for my next BFR on an electronic calendar; with an automatic reminder set 30 days before my current BFR expires.
