Subject: Student night solo?

The student will have passenger carrying privileges when he passes
the checkride. Therefore, if you don't feel comfortable having him
fly with passengers on your ticket, how can you send him to the
checkride?

As I understand it the DE on the checkride is the students first
passanger evaluating the student.

I don't think that's true. According to the FARs, you cannot carry
passengers until you have the certificate. Therefore, the examiner
is still the instructor and the student is still logging dual
instruction time.



No, the examiner is a passenger. The checkride endorsement allows the
student carry a passenger for the purpose of taking the practical test.
