It differs among clubs. Where I fly some individuals need very close supervison and need a check out pretty much each time before they fly! Others, myself included who hold a CPL and are current, only get a quick circuit when changing to a different a/c type. Im part of the furniture at the place I fly from, been heavily involved since my teens. Its all in the trust, I can go in anytime and take an aircraft up, even before the place is open/ or after its closed. Evening and early morning flying is magical!! Give it a try!
