Didn't want to upset him by telling him that as a PPL(B) holder (but not an instructor) not only it is legal for me to allow my pax on the burners but also if they are in training for them to book the hours towards their totals needed for their GFT and annotate their logbook to boot.
When EASA licences replace out CAA ones in 2015, of course, this training privilege will be removed, but think how much safer it will be after the zero incidents caused by such behaviour over the last 40 years....
Fly safe and enjoy it,
