A and C,
I always thought there was no need to fly with an instructor under these circumstances, although I haven't (yet) been involved in group ownership, so I may be wrong.
I thought that, if you haven't flown for 90 days and your group requires, say, 60 days currency, you do the following:
- Fly with a member of the group (doesn't need to be an instructor). The other member is P1. You are not a required member of the crew, and not receiving instruction, therefore you can't log the time. But, under the command of P1, you can take the controls, which will satisfy the requirements of most groups
- Having sorted out the group's currency requirements, you are now free to fly solo, do 3 t+g's, and therefore satisfy the 90-day rule. (You must do this, even if you did three t+g's in the first flight, because you weren't able to log the first flight.)
Am I missing something? I'll be looking to get into a group in a few months time, and although I can't imagine myself not flying for that length of time, I'd still like to understand the rules!
Cheers,
FFF
