SAS. I am not disagreeing with you that LASORS is indeed a fine publication and is a great GUIDE for us as Instructors and Examiners.
I merely needling away at your dogged insistence that it is the regulations and it must be followed to the letter. I refer you to mine and others previous comments.
The rules are very simple, any flight of 1hr or greater duration in the qualifying period as PUT meets the revalidation by experience requirements. There are no legal requirements for anything else, no required skills, no required assesment and no certification from an Instructor that they have met any standards.
I am not trying to put my own interpretation on the rules. I just follow them in as written.
You only have to admit you were wrong and it will be at an end.
As an Instructor people expect you to give good advice and unless you admit that your interpretation is wrong where does that leave us all. After all if an Instructor can't get it right how is the average pilot going to?
Beagle, we are not arguing the fact that the Instructor should sign. It surprises me that SAS does not sign each flight. I certainly do and everyone else I know does the same thing.
