Hi all
Many thanks for your answers, and the advice !!!
It clears things up with the exception of the PPL who has let is license lapse and must sit a flight test again - surely in effect he is no more privileges then a first time student pilot and as pointed out by Hansard would be flying under my license ???
In terms of the solos - I must admit sending somebody (particularly on an early solo 2nd or 3rd) does worry me somewhat - significantly more so then my own first solo - but I guess thats why you remain under the supervision of a more senior instructor for sometime !!
Any additional pearls of wisdom on this or anything really that would help a VERY new instructor is most welcome
Best cheer Neil
