Thanks for the replies,
I may wave it at my flying club and see what they say..... but no PAX until it is sorted for deffinite.
Sensible decision.
There is no "grey area" for solo between GST and holding the licence. You are still not a licence holder and as such have to be authorised and supervised by an instructor. You can not carry pssengers. Simple black and white.
Passing the GST is only one element of obtaining the licence.
What I would expect your club to do is not charge you any fee for the solo supervision you may require until your licence arrives.
