Apologies if there is already another thread in the past on this but I could not find it!
My situation is: JAR PPL recently done - Logbook, documents and a pile of money with the CAA.
My question is: If I fly this weekend, i.e. qualified but without my PPL in hand, I understand that I need to either be solo (no passengers) and signed out by an instructor or have an instructor fly with me (if I want to take passengers). Assuming the latter and as this is no longer a lesson/exercise (I am expecting to pay the dual time rate) can I log this as PIC time provided the instructor does not have to take control of the aircraft for safety reasons?
Thanks in advance for your kindness to a noob posting. As I have learned, it's all about PIC time!
