God help us, do I have to check if you are down the back of a commercial flight and if you are going to log something simply because you have an instructor rating and are on board?
Thats a whole different situation than being sat up front. Or is that a practice you have experience of?
The reasoning was that you present yourself for a check flight because for whatever reason you are not happy yourself or the owner is not happy or the club rules require or for whatever other reason you like you can not simply take the aircraft and a passenger to go flying.
Or, as we have said, the aircraft owner(s) wish to show how to fly the aircraft within their requirements.
because you took command of the aircraft carrying a passenger when you knew you should not have and by doing so were negligent.
In what way are you negligent if you hold the relevant licence and are not breaking rules such as 90day rule?
Do you have something in for BOSE? Seem to quite like attacking him.....
