Any sensible club should have a pragmatic approach. The instructors know which pilots have better handling skills than others
Where I am it's 6 weeks but if you haven't flown for 6 weeks and there is 15kts across the runway they will probably suggest you do a circuit 1st with an instructor.
if you haven't flown for 7 weeks and its a nice still sunny day they are more relaxed.
also it shouldn't be type based either. if someone hasn't flown a simple, benign handling plane in 12 weeks but has recent hours in something more challenging then that should be fine in my book
My thoughts too...
