It doesn't matter what you call the guy in the right seat. For the
purpose of meeting 61.57, the person in the right seat is not
necessary for the conduct of the flight, and therefore doesn't
belong there.


It matters if you call him a pilot. How can you consider someone
mearly a passenger, if they are as qualified to fly the aircraft as
the pilot. And if he is indeed a pilot, you are not carrying a
passenger, and you don't have to meet the requirements of 61.57.

Currency to carry a passenger is what 61.57 is all about.

I see where the guy is going with this, and I for one think he might
have a point.

Not to mention the fact that if both people are qualified to solo the
aircraft, why would the FAA care. They are both pilots and they are
not carrying passengers.


The FAA cares in several situations. Let's take for example my Homebuilt.
For the first 40 hours only one person can be in it at a time. I can't even
have a fully qualified CFI in the plane with me during that Phase 1 time.
