Flying without a BFR
So, i've been having a discussion at work about flying without a BFR.
Example: 2 pilots, one without a current BFR is sitting in the LHS on a single pilot aircraft with a current pilot in the RHS seat. The guy in the LHS has a current medical.
IT is my understanding that the guy in the RHS is PIC, as the flight manual doesn't stipulate the PIC must be in the LHS. The LHS guy can fly and manipulate the controls as he is suitable qualified to operate the aircraft but he cannot log time as PIC. I also assume that he cannot log time as dual either as I read it that to log time as dual the PIC must either be an instructor, ATO or authorised by CASA eg a chief pilot.
I've read through the CAR's and CAO's but can't decypher a straight answer. I'd tempted to say, the non bfr guy can fly, but cannot log anytime correct?
Also, i've heard the term safety pilot thrown around a bit, but cannot find any legal reference to it, can someone enlighten me?
