Default Do you have to solo to get current?

Well not really. Maybe that is a bit of the confusion.


61.57 says the PIC has to be current to carry a *passenger*, not
another *pilot*. And I can't find anything in the regs that says just
because the aircraft doesn't require two pilots, you can't have two
pilots.


You are act much like another troll from around these parts. But, since you
say you are a pilot why don't you find out this way.

Call your local FSDO and tell them exactly what you are going to do. Tell
them what airport you are going to it and at what day and time.


Since this guy is clearly wrong, I'm not going to argue with him. I
already suggested that he call AOPA, let them deal with him. I
wouldn't take the time if he doesn't want to listen. If he thinks two
pilots can both be required crew member s on a 172 while just goofing
off in the sky (no hood, etc), then let him tell that story to AOPA
(or better yet, the FSDO ).
