I went to a local FBO to check rental rates on a C-172 and checkout requirements. I have about 2,500 hours in Cessna's between the C-150 and the C-172. They see that I am also an ex CFII. They see I have a recent Biennial in a C-170 and recent flying time in a Cessna 172 ten hours in the last 2 months. They still want to turn the Check out into a mini-Biennial and charge me for 1 hour at least of Dual. Told them I had no time for that. I could see that if I went up and blew a landing approach that I would need more time,but they were going to give me an hour of checkride no matter what. I could see it for an inexperienced pilot - the instructor doing the checkout had 400 hours maybe. Any Comments on this?
