I fully support the notion of a check flight moving from one aircraft to another.
How much that check flights involves I question as I have a sneaky feeling a lot has to do with flying school income.

There is no rocket science jumping from one fixed gear fixed prop aircraft to another for a half competent pilot and maybe this is more to do with revenue and our Nanny state attitudes today

Even jumping into a retractable VP just has a few extra items and considerations? I was amazed at the requirements to fly a Cirrus. The aircraft itself is no big deal only the avionics which should be taught on the ground not the aircraft. Yet there are more hours required to transition to that aircraft than a full type rating on a 400 KT business jet something has to be wrong ?
