Absolutely and without question, there is always one and only one Pilot in Command, even if more than one person has the right to log themselves as Pilot In Command, only one person meets the definition of FAR Part 1. No it doesn't, read 1.1 again. Pilot in command can be designated either before or DURING the flight. By your definition, if the second "Pilot" is not a "passenger", a non- current pilot could be allowed to carry him without violating 61.57. However, section (2) clearly says that he cannot fly with anything in the plane that is not necessary for the flight "for the purpose of meeting the requirements of paragraph (a)(1)" (ie: as sole manipulator of the controls during take-off and landing). I will be the first to admit, that is the most confusing, and possibly damning verbage I can find in the regs relative to this whole *proposed* concept. But I also can't find anything in the regs that would forbid two pilots from piloting an aircraft that only requires one pilot. Just that only one can log the flight time, and 1.1 states pilots can share that duty on the same flight. If so, you have a flight with two pilots, and no passengers, and 61.57 doesn't apply in part, or in whole. Because 61.57 is all about currency for carrying passengers. -- Skidder |
