90 Day Rule Changes
I am trying to understand the legal view of the 90 day rule mentioned recently in a couple of the fly mags. As I understand it, Groups usually have a lower currency rule. Members who exceeded the 90 day rule as well as the Group rule would fly with a Group pilot, who was not considered to be a passenger (or so the position was before the lawyers got involved), complete the required 3 T & Ls and all was well. The lawyers I think tell us the group pilot IS a passenger. What about the out of timer flying with a group member, but not logging the flight. Seems to me if he "manipulates the controls" he satisfies to the Group check pilot he is proficient. He then does his 3 T & Ls solo - all is now well. VIEWS PLEASE?
