Bose,
Is it your position that training with an instructor overrides the need for 3 circuits, so....the training could potentially consist of only two circuits and some general handling?
Or is it your position that one circuit of training with an instructor counts as being the equivalent of one circuit as sole manipulator of the controls, even thought the pilot was not the sole manipulator of the controls? ie. they would need to do at least three circuits with the instructor?
