How about taking passengers along as a PPL novice? Opinions please!
Folks, I'd be thankful for some opinions on this:
I am going to do a (FAA-)PPL in the US this summer. After having received the licence I want to do some more flying over there. Two relatives will probably come over at that time to give me a visit. Now, as I cannot yet really judge about what flying will be like after just having completed the PPL course, please give me some opinions on this: My relatives and I want to do some touring through the Mid-Western States and are considering the alternatives car or plane (and I have to start planning this). Do you guys think it is reasonably possible to take passengers along while having no more experience than just the PPL course, or is that irresponsible? By the way: I like these relatives (no mother-in-law ;-)).
Thanks for your thoughts....
Simon
