Cost Sharing - CAA Update

[ak7274]

Further to Beagle's post, The CAA quite clearly state in their guidance to Introductory flights Chapter 2 para 4.
"An introductory flight should consist of an air tour of short duration. The PIC cannot hand over control of the aircraft to the passengers at any time unless he/she is the holder of a valid instructor’s certificate."

This is also relevant to CRIs in that, they aren't qualified to teach ab into, so are not able to hand over control on an introductory flight.
As a CRI, I did one at the weekend and had to turn down the instructor fee. 😭
