Back in the day we used to have to be checked out as PPLs to work towards AFI status. Then we had to have BCPLs.

Recently PPLs can be checked out to do trial lessons for a club.

But now any newly minted PPL can sign up to Wingly and blag free flying with anyone who wants to go anywhere.

Inevitably there will be incidents as the pressure to deliver for the paying customer pushes inexperienced and under-qualified pilots into marginal conditions.

It may be legal to do a Wingly, but is it sensible.
