![]() Lack of night currency doesn't preclude acting as PIC. It only precludes carrying passengers. Jack is carryiing Jill, who is PIC. I say (and other posts agree) that she is not a passenger, and is not being "carried" by Jack (she is carryign herself, as PIC). One other question (the FAA always has "gotchas" If Jack (out of night currency) pays for the entire flight, is the non-equitable sharing of expense a problem? Same question if Jill (the acting PIC) pays for the entire flight. Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |

![]() Here is a more straightforward but frustrating version of the same problem. Suppose Jack and Jill are both private pilots and suppose neither is night current. It is legal for each one to go up solo and do 3 night landings for currency. It is NOT legal for them to go up together and each do 3 night landings for currency. Yet clearly it would be safer (although not legal) for them to go up together to do the 3 landings so that a night-inexperienced pilots has another set of eyes helping him/her out. -------------------- Richard Kaplan, CFII www.flyimc.com |

![]() Yet clearly it would be safer (although not legal) for them to go up together to do the 3 landings The requirement isn't based on the safety of the flight, it is based on the danger to passengers. At least one of the pilots, on at least three of the loops around, is an innocent passenger. Not true of an acting PIC. Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |
