PPl's doing check rides is legal and they are also insured to do so.
The only probem that may occur is if the person being checked is outside the 90day rule. If the check is say a 28day check the pilot just logs it as PIC. If outside 90days the pilot doing the checking must be PIC otherwise they are breaking 90day rule. Because only one person can log the time and it can't be PICUS or PUT. And then they have to do 3 circuits solo. So its more effective to just do it with an instructor.
This is only really an issue with night checkouts.
Funny issue with the night stuff is that instructor student combinations are allowed while both are out on the 90day rule.
Apparantly Instructor, student are counted as crew not Instructor and pax.
Also to cover your arse its proberly best if there logbook is anotated that they have been checked out in the RHS.
