A. Have him fly once with a instructor, then do 3 TO/LDs solo.
B. Fly once with a group member, then do 3 TO/LDs solo.
C. Fly all his 3 TO/LDs with a group member.
D. Fly all his 3 TO/LDs solo.
Also would you require him to do any of he above to just fly solo?
BTW. I dont think Touch+Gos count towards the three requirement, it surely has to be brakes off to brakes on to be logged as one flight.
A similar situation came up at our club, the decision whether A, B, C or D was resolved by the member - he himself decided whether he felt competent to fly (or not) - in this case he did fly a check flight with an instructor. They landed, the instructor got out and he did his 3 touch and gos - having said this, the aircraft concerned was a Cessna 182. The reason why I say that is that as far as FAA goes,
sec 61.57 states that these flights only have to be to a complete stop when flying tail wheel aircraft....
However, the CAA states on it's website the
following - that there needs to be 3 takes offs and landings - no mention of full stop, irrespective of tail wheel or tricycle....
