First Solo In Actual Conditions

Peter,

I understand that, which is why in the original post I stated that he
was only checked out in normally asirated planes. When I hear the
term "checked out" it usually means being authorized to use the planes
of a particular operation. As far as I know the FAA doesn't see any
difference between normally aspirated and fuel injected engines, so I
thought it was obvious it was an operator restriction. Maybe there
is another meaning and if so I will provide more clarity in the
future.

Since we wanted to switch seats at the destination, he wouldn't have
been able to fly left seat without being checked out.

As David said, that would be a club regulation issue. The FAA has no
prohibition against you acting as PIC from the right seat, nor against him
manipulating the controls from the left.

Perhaps you should clarify whose rules you're talking about and what you
mean by "checked out".
