As Megan has noted, the Australian system in the past allowed the Cessna 182 type rating to give automatic coverage to the C180/185. I know of at least two accidents, one fatal, that were a result of that crazy system.

The fatal was a young man on his first day using a C180 on parachuting without proper instruction on the handling of the C180. The second was a C185 also on parachuting where a pilot on his first use of the C185, again without instruction, proceeded to ground loop the aircraft which resulted in one undercarriage leg being torn off, followed by the wing and propeller hitting the ground and subsequently writing the aircraft off.
