To dual or not to dual!

Interesting question...predictable answers. I take it we are talking about a VFR Proficiency check of an experienced pilot.

I have looked at JAR OPS 3 and I can’t find any reference to there being a requirement for dual controls to be fitted. Can’t find anything in the Flight Examiner’s Manual either. Kalif help me out here please!

More than one operator I have flown with has occasionally (and sometimes more than occasionally) conducted proficiency checks without duals fitted, and with the examinee as PIC.

Is it specifically written, other than on Troglodita’s forehead, that duals are required? I can’t believe that if they are essential it isn’t a well documented requirement.

Cheers!
