The check flights I have seen using a PPL are only paper exercises if someone has gone out of the club rules not the CAA ones
Can the Chief Flying Instructor, or his deputy, not use his discretion in this case and allow someone who has just gone out of the club rules (but obviously not the CAA ones) to fly anyway? This certainly happens at my club - several times when I've gone out of the club currency rules I've been "signed off" by instructors, without them actually having to fly with me.
As for the legalities, if an "office member" who is employed by the club is asked, as part of his responsibilities during his working hours, to fly, surely he would need at the very least a CPL?
