Strange practice of a flying instructor?
Now I realise that this question at face value may appear strange (I am not a troll and this is a very serious question) The scenario leading up to this question is as below:
The instructor was taking two students (both male, late teens) for a trial lesson in a PA28, During the flight he asked the students to change seat (from front to back of aircraft) so that they could change over who was having the lesson.
My question is was this legal? and if not what sections of aviation law had been breached. Should the school report this to the CAA to protect themselves?
I have my own opinions as to the safety of such a practice, and my own thoughts on the wisdom of the instructor - no doubt others will have theirs.
Is this common practice in flying schools - no need to name and shame, just yes or no would be informative.
Thanks for your opinions on this.
YES it really did happen...
