It is what I would want to see if I was letting you borrow my plane.


Look what we get used to in this endeavor of ours:

At a Chicago Avis rental counter:

"I'd like to rent a Ford Taurus."

"Fine, I need to see your Driver's Licence and log of every mile you've
ever driven in your lifetime. Then you'll need to rent the car from us for
half a day, at your own expense of course, then drive around while our
manager of driving assurance decides whether or not we want to rent the car
to you. By the way, you'll have to pay the manager of driving assurance
while he evaluates you."

"But, I just rented and put 200 miles on a Ford Taurus in Denver... here's
the paperwork."

"Matters not... Just because you can drive a Ford Taurus in Denver doesn't
mean you can drive one in Chicago."

:-)

I'm goofing here, but would an FAA supplied rental currency form that could
be signed by a CFI stating that you have been checked out and found to be
proficient in a type work? That way you wouldn't need to be checked out
every single time you went to a new FBO.


Doubt it. Pilot proficiency and currency are issues demanding local
verification by each insurance underwriter. Logbooks and paperwork can
easily be cooked. Visual proof of competence satisfies the Insurance people.
Might as well give in Dallas; it's the way the system works. One side
benefit is that once you establish yourself and your competence at a
local operation and they know you and get their airplanes back in one
moving part that works each time you fly it, getting checked out in
other aircraft is a whole lot easier. :-))
