Part 61 - Airline cyclics and pvt flying
I was alerted to this one recently.
Is it everyone's belief that I have this correct in that if you are an airline pilot and have completed your IR renewal, cyclic or line check (insert company SOP here), that you are then issued a new part 61 licence, however you have NOT been checked out on your private aircraft (or perhaps a hired 172) and therefore you are NOT licenced to fly "privately?"
For Airline Pilots that own/operate light single/twin engine fixed/rotary wing aircraft
a) the holder is successfully participating in an operator’s training and checking system for an operation in an aircraft of the type covered by the rating; - this actually specifies it will only give Flight Reviews for the type of the aircraft that it was done under the training and checking system (Cyclic Programme). other rules apply for the other class/types
