I fly at a number of different clubs/schools and most of them apart from one have a 28 day rule for each type of a/c. The one that dosent has a yearly check regime.
Its good and its bad the 28 day rule. If I fly one a/c at one school and stay current there, then become uncurrent at another school with identical a/c you still have to have a check flight there. That's a pain!
However there's the increased safety aspect with having regular currency checks, the only downside being that in my case, its not really a currency check as such as im usually already current!
