Instructing in group-owned aircraft

Please can someone tell me where to find the rules for instructing in group-owned aircraft?
I believe (from something I found in Hansard!) that it's allowed providing the instructor isn't paid, but I'd like to read the detailed regs.
I've looked in Lasors and the ANO without success.

Thanks, FW44

Try here:

http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/122/summar..._transport.pdf

It is a CAA document with a summary of the definition of Public Transport extracted from the ANO.

It says:

Quote:

5.5.3 ...... In particular, a member of the group cannot pay an instructor to train him in the group owned aircraft. (However, see AIC 7/2004 (White 94) which allows a joint owner to undertake flight tests and pilot licence renewal/revalidation flights.)

I hope this helps.

18(W133)/07 is the replacement for the previously cited AIC.

Thanks for the pointers, they seem to say that "ab initio" instruction in a private cat group-owned aircraft is OK providing the instructor isn't paid.

What if the aircraft is on public cat?
What happens after the change to a single type of permanent CofA later this year?
