thanks guys for all the wisdom. The 172 I would be "renting" is from the company I work for, so I'm assuming they would be fine with me borrowing the 172 for the weekend without a check out. I was hoping to get the takeoff and landings tonight so that my girlfriend and I can go to lake cumberland this weekend and not have to drive it...

I have a few guys that I know would probably go up with me just to go up that are currently working on their cfi, so I'll try to take one with for some touchys and goes

I just wanted to make sure I was 100% on the regs, and to make sure that I didn't need a biannually type of check out in a single engine plane.

thanks again!
