FFF You're right about it not being relevant to the thread, though
Oi! It wasn't
that irrelevant
I guess it comes down to how narrowly you define "legal". If the only concern is whether you'd get a criminal record you might be okay because it isn't specifically outlawed - as long as they don't go for criminal negligence
Its a similar situation to 90 day PAX rules (ish)
Don't fly for 23 months, go solo for three full stop circuits, take passengers. Have incident/accident.
Legal - yes.
Negligent?
