If I can fly a Cessna 172 in one flight school why need an additional check out at a different flight school to fly the same type of airplane? Everytime I wanna fly somewhere different I need a check out. It's too costly and time consuming. Doesn't it make sense to just have a common or universal check out to satisfy all flight schools?
Faking a check out is easy. this way the flight school (1) make more money (2) make sure that you REALLY know how to fly.
When a flight instructor signs you off, he is putting his own license on the line. So allowing a stranger to come in and get signed off (without checkout flight) is putting his license for a stranger.

I also Scuba Dive. and even though check out dives are recommended, it is NOT required. and often divers end up injured because of it. But with airplanes, a simple mistake also kills people on the ground.
Good Luck…
That makes sense, but the flight school is doing it to cover their own backside. If you bend their airplane, they get to eat the airplane payment until it's repaired or replaced.
Are checkouts necessary from every flight school you rent from?
backside, flight schools
