90 day rule MEP

Unfortunately I haven't flown MEP in over 90 days, so I do not have the required 3 T/O & landings to take passangers with me on flights.
Now I would like to simply go rent a MEP airplane to do a few patterns & be legal to take pax again, my question is: am I allowed to take 1 extra person with me, this person holds a CPL, so in my view he would act as a "safety pilot"; does anybody have any info on this? (PS: I'm in the EU)

Thanks a lot in advance guys!

Under EASA regime - No. You have to do the 3 T/O-Ldg all alone. But, of course and quite easy - if you are out of training you can get a FI/FE on the right seat, do some trainings and then do the 3 patterns solo.

That's what I figured too, I was kind of placing my hopes on the safety pilot aspect of it working out legally, but as this is for medical considerations, I guess it won't work.. Thank you very much for the help!

You should check your local regulations - there may be something in the Belgian ANO that permits it.

The UK CAA are considering changing this:-

The GA Partnership Group is considering options for relaxing the 90-day currency rule for passenger carriage for national licence holders. Using informed consent principles this would allow a second qualified pilot to elect to join the flight while currency is renewed.

They do not need to be "all alone". Three with an instructor alongside, while you are "sole manipulator of the controls" is sufficient.

Any extra person you carry is either a 'member of the crew', or a 'passenger', and as you can't count your friend as a crew member, he must be a 'passenger'

Mr. A is quite correct.

Even if there was, it would be trumped by EASA regulation!

90-day currency rule for passenger carriage for national licence holders
Not much use for the majority of EASA licence holders!
