Passengers - One at a Time?
A friend of mine is quite interested in flying and I offered to take him up next time I go, he has asked if he can bring his girlfriend along too (I'll be flying the PA-28, so there are 4 seats).
After doing the mass balance calculations I'm not too happy to fly 3 up as the runway is quite short (there is enough space, but not much margin for error etc), and as I'm still relativelly low on experince I don't want to push it too much at this stage.
My question is, is it okay to take them one at a time? So go up with one, land and swap pax before going again? This seems a little dodgy, as it doesn't really fit with the "would this flight happen without the passenger?" question. Is it okay to do this?
I just wanted to check I'm legal before commiting to anything.
