What variations are there in club "currency" rules?
For example - Does your club require a checkride to be made before hiring even if the hirer is very recent in a non club aircraft ie 4 hours PIC in last 28 days? OR (as I suspect) is the currency rule is insurance driven.
Both same Class - SEP.
Club I hire from has an "any flying, with instructor signature if it's somewhere else" rule.

I invoked this rule once on the basis of some recent floatplane training ... but I hadn't actually flown anything with wheels for quite a while and made something of a balls-up of the resulting crosswind landing. (You don't usually do crosswind landings in a floatplane, you just choose your landing direction into wind.)
