What would be illegal in the scenario you describe?: I am unaware of a requirement that the PIC (you) has to be the handling pilot during a forced landing. The other week I flew as P1 with a friend in an aircraft which he had never flown before: he is an ATPL and QFI with a gazillion hours. If the engine had failed I would have handed over to him for the landing and he would have made a better job of it than me.. .. .Bertie: je m'excuse pour ce virage hors le fil.. . . . <small>[ 07 March 2002, 15:03: Message edited by: FNG ]</small>
