Ok NutLoose, I'll bite. Don't agree. You don't get sent off solo until your instructor is satisfied that you are safe, and you do not take passengers until you have completed the course (military or civil) and are properly rated.
Herod I totally agree with you, I was referring to
Wesley Tierney, 25 of Letchworth, was given an eight month prison sentence suspended for 14 months after earlier pleading guilty to five charges – including three counts of acting as flight crew of an aircraft without holding an appropriate licence
In that a pilot under instruction and hence flying on his solo would not hold a licence either, that would only be awarded when he qualified. the charge above does not mention accompanied, hence my comment.
It does however prove the theory, any muppet can fly an aircraft..
