The flying school that I SFH from are arranging briefing sessions with a qualified engineer for all of their PPLs.

They have a new sheet in the Tech Log to be signed before every flight confirming that a compliant check has been made.

They clarified this morning that I could fly locally if an instructor had checked the blades and signed them off, but I couldn't land away as I hadn't been briefed yet thus couldn't yet check for the return flight [under their local implementation of the AD].

Good point raised above regarding solo students. Expect solo circuits and solo nav are not a problem if an instructor checks before departure. But for solo land away (including QXC) does an instructor or engineer need to be on standby at each site to sign off every leg?
