Ok everyone out there can get off their high horses when it comes to type ratings on single engine pistons.
All Africa is doing is formalizing what we do here already.
We call them check outs and although they aren’t required legally try renting a plane or insuring one you bought without a check out from an instructor or other competent pilot.
All Africa is doing is saying get a check out in that plane before you fly it.
Here if you bought a 206 and you had 1000TT hours but no 206 time the insurance company would want you to do 20-30 hours of transition training with an instructor.
So we are pretty much the same.
