Taking Passengers
A colleague of mine, from Australia, was claiming he could take passengers on circuits and training, solo, after he had flown his first solo flight.
That sounds incredible, I guess here in the UK you MUST have a full PPL to take a passenger on board ?

he may have a very short career in aviation if he does this.

There is an initial stage of licensing in Oz - GFPT which allows a student to take passengers for solo flights within a defined training area, and to receive instruction outside the training area with passengers on board.
Solo flights are still only permitted under the direct supervision of an instructor though.
