aren't we confusing introductory flights with an FI v PPL here?
There are 3 separate areas:
1. Flying Lessons flown by a FI of which Ex3 is Air Experience
2. Introductory Flights conducted in accordance with NCO.GEN.103 which includes specific requirements of the operator and;
3. Cost sharing which allows licence holders to share costs with passengers
All quite different, but confused by the CAA issuing an IN that groups Introductory Flights and Cost Sharing together. Some organisations have incorrectly assumed that Introductory Flights and "Trial Lessons" are the same thing.
With no enforcement action, nothing will happen until the first accident occurs and the CAA is found negligent again.
