Bose/Beagle,
If you flew a 1hr flight with a FI, who is supposedly current and everything, and that FI signs your logbook and the revalidation slip in your license, then why does the CFI from the club be involved at all?
Or is this an additional club rule, that you need to be checked out on an aircraft by a club FI before you're allowed to fly club aircraft (possibly for insurance reasons), and that this club checkout happens to coincide with the official proficiency check?
I'm going to have to do my proficiency check for the first time, in a few months or so, so I'm curious how this works, or how it worked in your case and what the issues really were.
Oh, and too lazy to look it up in my books right now... Can the 1 hr flight be scheduled anywhere in the 12 months before expiry, or does it have to be in the last 3 months or so?
