Interestingly it neatly ducks the issue of whether a passenger may operate the controls.
What is the relevance of that to cost sharing?
This should solve that question, from IN-2014/09
An introductory flight does not count towards the grant or issuance of a licence. If someone
wishes to have a go at flying the aircraft they are advised to arrange a flying lesson at a
Registered Training Facility or Approved Training Organisation.
This whole subject will obviously ruffle a few feathers but what a great piece of common sense at last....
