Default RE: What Are "Minimum" Flying Skills?

Something like this comes up at our club every couple of years.

It's fine if it applies to everyone but that's never how it is. It's always only for "new guys" or some other criteria.

My thought is, if you set this up, every member needs to go through it. Even if Mike McConville (or some other well known pilot) is in your club, he should go through this evaluation before he is allowed to continue flying at your field. If he's not a member, and shows up to fly as a guest, he should have to prove himself before he can fly.

I'm a believer in safety but I also believe in taking someone's word if they come in and say they're an experienced pilot. If they're not, it will show.
