The only way this will be resolved is when there is a court case and thelegal aspect has been resolved.
Currently its happening pretty regularly.
There isn't a safety case to stop it.
It is legal to do it solo with no backup. And it doesn't involve any none pilots who arn't aware of the risks.
Its not really done inside the confinds of a club or school enviroment because its easier to use an instructor and club rules will require a check out before 90 days.
If this was a huge issue the insurance policys would say its not possible.
As for none licensed pilots landing and taking off without an instructor next to them it must be happening daily with medical failures, pilots, kids, familys, etc all doing it with a licensed pilot next to them Number of accidents in the last 10years zero.
oh by the way the fcl 60 rule there is a hard rule for none qualified pilots landing and taking off which is done through the aircraft flight manuals and an excemption given while training under a trto. Nothing for sep
And carry out to me is just that you have done them there is nothing to stipulate in what capacity.
