Piltos: Find a flight instructor familiar with your aircraft type
Actually, it is in guidance -- browse the AC's and handbooks, and you'll find it.A viewpoint, but nothing regulatory or in guidance.

Yes, what's in that video is a suggestion, but as I actually said (as opposed to how you chose to interpret I said), that recommendation is also in plenty of guidance such as AC's and Handbooks. In any event, it should provide some insight into what the new Manager of the General Aviation and Commercial Division (which writes all those Part 61 rules) thinks.No it's not, it's a suggestion.

That video is what Mr. Viola thinks. Bottom line, there is nothing regulatory about type specific check outs for any single or twin below 12,500 (excluding endorsements).
Please stop trying to convince anyone this is "policy" or any such nonsense. It's a Facebook video (not very well done) of his opinion.
And please try to understand what "guidance" means versus regulatory. Even John Duncan has stated that regulation will take precedence over guidance.
Is the FAA really that lax?
If I posted a video with my own opinions and advice, represented as though they were NASA's, I'd be in a heap of trouble and the video would last a few milliseconds.
The agency's opinions are determined by the Administrator or those he delegates the authority to.
He even says in the video that you can fly with a private certificate but you should get checked out.
"Both airplanes you can fly with your private pilot certificate but you should get checked out."
Not bad advice, but don't look at it as policy or anything else but a suggestion.

Ron.....were you holding the camera for that?
Thanks *******, i now have coffee all over my computer monitor
There's a bigger issue here (If it is actual guidance). The gentleman in the video has put out incorrect advice which appears to be from the FAA, and pilots could potentially act upon, because he said directly that you "should" but dont have to get checked out
You really should stop saying I said things I didn't say, and then chastising me for what I didn't say, and then accusing me of twisting words.That video is what Mr. Viola thinks.

Just saw it for the first time yesterday.Ron.....were you holding the camera for that?

Ron may have been holding SOMETHING of Mr. Viola's. We're just not sure if it was the camera.
I've found that insurance companies tend to ensure that (whether owned or renting) a pilot does need an appropriate checkout before flying a new airplane solo.I thought it was a joke. There may be a few rogue guys out there, but I thought everyone got a checkout to fly a new type. For the few that don't, I highly doubt that PSA is going to make the difference.
Reading the aircraft flight manual/POH and talking to someone that has already flown the type should be enough for an appropriately rated pilot to get in, fly and learn the new aircraft on their own.
