90 day rule MEP
 

Unfortunately I haven't flown MEP in over 90 days, so I do not have the required 3 T/O & landings to take passangers with me on flights.
Now I would like to simply go rent a MEP airplane to do a few patterns & be legal to take pax again, my question is: am I allowed to take 1 extra person with me, this person holds a CPL, so in my view he would act as a "safety pilot"; does anybody have any info on this? (PS: I'm in the EU)

Thanks a lot in advance guys!

Under EASA regime - No. You have to do the 3 T/O-Ldg all alone. But, of course and quite easy - if you are out of training you can get a FI/FE on the right seat, do some trainings and then do the 3 patterns solo.

That's what I figured too, I was kind of placing my hopes on the safety pilot aspect of it working out legally, but as this is for medical considerations, I guess it won't work.. Thank you very much for the help!

You should check your local regulations - there may be something in the Belgian ANO that permits it.

The UK CAA are considering changing this:-

They do not need to be "all alone". Three with an instructor alongside, while you are "sole manipulator of the controls" is sufficient.

Any extra person you carry is either a 'member of the crew', or a 'passenger', and as you can't count your friend as a crew member, he must be a 'passenger'


Mr. A is quite correct.


MJ:ok:

Even if there was, it would be trumped by EASA regulation!

Not much use for the majority of EASA licence holders!

Thanks a lot for all of your help guys!
