General aviation
Hey guys been out of the GA side of Aviaiton for a lot of years. Currently a airbus driver in the 121 world and was thinking about getting back into the GA side for fun in a Cessna 310. Was woundering (for legal reasons only, not safety) am I legal to fly a Cessna 310 without any check outs or flight instruction received if I was bold enough to just jump in one and fly since it’s the same category and class?

If that, then you'd just need to do 3 TO/LDG in the same category/class aircraft.

I just dunno if the FAA would view them as the same for currency purposes since one requires a type rating and the other does not.
