I recently read Incident 2 on Page 40 of the Autumn/Winter 2013 edition of Clued Up concerning an incident cause by a misunderstanding as to who was P1 when requalifying to carry passengers under the 90 day rule. It contained the following statements:
"The CAA provided the following clarification: “The pilot was certificated for single-pilot operation and therefore the only person who can be a member of the flight crew in addition to the handling pilot is a flying instructor or supervising handling pilot...
A pilot wishing to regain 90-day currency to be entitled to carry passengers must complete at least three take-offs and three landings as the sole manipulator of the controls. These manoeuvres must be flown either solo or under the supervision of a flying instructor, as a passenger cannot be carried until the currency is regained."
This made me wonder about whether the flights in the following scenarios should be logged as P1, PICUS or PU/T.
The pilot concerned holds a valid EASA PPL(A). In addition to the licence requirements the flying club requires that a pilot shall have flown within the previous 42 days otherwise a check flight with an instructor is required. The pilot has not flown within 42 days and so goes up with an instructor, who does not touch the controls at any stage of the flight and does not offer instruction as such.
1. The pilot has satisfied the 90 day rule and so is entitled to carry passengers.
2. The pilot has not satisfied the 90-day rule and so can only carry the instructor as flight crew. They do 3 circuits at the start of the flight, after which the pilot may carry passengers.
3. The pilot has not satisfied the 90-day rule and so can only carry the instructor as flight crew. They do not land until the end of the flight so the pilot remains out of 90-day currency for the whole flight.
Any suggestions?
