Check flights
I’ve recently changed flying club and find that my new club requires every pilot to have an annual check flight. On the second year, this doubles-up with the bi-annual revalidation training flight of course. There’s no requirement for the check-ride to be with an instructor – the club has a few experienced pilots who are authorised to conduct them.
I don’t know why we’ve got such a regime - it may be an insurance requirement. However, my question is does anyone know of any other club in the UK which requires annual check flights, or are we unique?
