61.57 Recent flight experience: Pilot in command

The only trick is finding a current pilot who is willing to act as pilot in
command without actually touching the controls.

Of course, if they do it this way, the current pilot has the
right and the responsibility to take the controls if there's
a problem. Doing it the way they used to do it, i.e., with
the current pilot being only the passenger, he did not have
the right to grab the controls. I suppose if they could
find pilots willing to risk their bodies before, without the
right to take control, they can probably find the same guys
when they're offered that right. Personally, I worry more
about my body than whether I'm "legally responsible" for
what happens to my body. :-)
