In article .com, Michael wrote: Also, I think it's ridiculous to require recency of experience in make and model - recency of experience makes sense for a class of airplane, and a Warrior and Skyhawk are the same class. I think the insurances companies have the rules on recency of experience set to tightly, but I think there is some merit on having recency of experience requirements, even in the same class of aircraft. I fly out of West Valley Flying Club (http://www.wvfc.org), which is one of the biggest (the biggest?) flying clubs. The requirement for recency of experience is 1hr in make/model in the last 90 days for sub-200hp fixed gear planes. A more powerful plane counts for a less powerful one, so an Archer counts for a Warrior, and a 172 counts for a 152. Complete matrix available he http://www.wvfc.org/current.html I haven't flown a 172 since 1990, so even though the transition shouldn't take more then an hour or so, I'm by no means familiar with the specific characteristics of a 172. Could I just hop in a 172 and fly safely? Probably, but I'd also probably do some minor things incorrectly based on flying Archers/Warriors for years. For sub-200hp fixed gear planes, six months or so is probably safe, but after that, the minor differences can start to bite. John wow, THAT's a fleet! How many members? |
