Hi Glendale. Yes, a 'checkout' here, is what you do with an instructor on a familiar type when you are out of practice, or move to a new club. Usually just a few circuits. A 'conversion' is moving to a new type. A 'conversion' would count as a 'checkout' too, but not usually the other way around. Not much different to over there I imagine.
Kachina is a great little aeroplane. I was just a bit long legged for it though.
