"In Canada, duals cannot be fitted with a non-qualified passenger in the front seat."
Paco - can you give me reference to that rule in CARS?
I do believe you are not allowed to let the passenger manipulate the controls unless you are a qualified instructor giving dual instuction but can't find a reference that states they must be removed if you are not.
In our company it is a rule covered in our OMA ( operations manual ) and not a bad idea - however we are allowed to have the engineer occupy the seat - ( Track and Balance flights ect. )
I have never been able to find a reference in CARS for it.
Thanks
