AMC1 FCL.060(b)(1) Recent experience
When a pilot needs to carry out one or more flights with an instructor or an
examiner to comply with the requirement of FCL.060(b)(1) before the pilot
can carry passengers, the instructor or examiner on board those flights will not
be considered as a passenger.
GM1 FCL.060(b)(1) Recent experience
AEROPLANES, HELICOPTERS, POWERED-LIFT, AIRSHIPS AND SAILPLANES If a pilot
or a PIC is operating under the supervision of an instructor to comply with the required
three take-offs, approaches and landings, no passengers may be on board.
The above statements seem very strange to me - their only point being
that it seems to allow a choice between "Checkee PUT & Instructor PIC"
or "Checkee PIC & Instructor as Safety Pilot (nothing loggable)"
And unless its changed with EASA the 90 day rule doesn't apply to you as your boh
counted as crew
It has:
FCL 905 (Instructor Privileges)
e) the night rating, provided that the FI:
(3) complies with the night experience requirement of FCL.060(b)(2);
I know we are not talking here about training for the Night Rating, but
see my points below.
The No night Restriction no longer exists under EASA
Technically correct but an FI still needs to apply to CAA for the privilege
to instruct for the Night Rating and to do this they will have to pass
a "test"
FCL 905: "has demonstrated the ability to instruct at night to an
FI qualified in accordance with (i) below"
Under EASA anyone can give any instruction they like to anybody.they
want to. PROVIDED it is not for License/Rating issue, renewal or revalidation - in this case there
would only be one pilot (the PIC) on board, everyone else being a passenger. Also I cannot
think of a scenario where any payment could legally be made.
EASA specifies what a pilot can do (not what they cannot).
Therefore an Instructor can only act as such if within the privileges of their Rating (irrespective of
whether "the lesson" is actually for License/Rating action or not)
If outside their privileges then they are not an Instructor and can only be
either PIC or Pax
None of the privileges of a CRI require flight at night and as instructing for the
Night Rating is not listed I would suggest no instruction at night is allowed.
Therefore no, a CRI may not be on board whilst someone regains their night currency
for carrying passengers.
