I don't see 61.3 (e) (1) requiring two pilots in the case where a non-rated person (or pilot) happens to be manipulating the controls. The only pilot that is *required* is the one who is acting as PIC. Well, there's no such requirment for a hood either - the only required pilot is the PIC. As long as the PIC can see out, you can have a trained hamster under the hood manipulating the controls. Jose (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |

I think what you are saying is that there is no requirement for a second pilot if the person flying is wearing a hood. No, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that there's no requirement to even use a hood unless the "purpose of the flight" is to fly under the hood. Absent that, the only required pilot is the one not wearing the hood. The one wearing the hood is superfluous (except that the purpose of the flight is to give the hooded pilot the chance to fly). Well, if the thread is really that thin, then it ought to apply in actual too. If the "purpose of the flight" is to have the non-IR pilot fly in the clouds, then another pilot is required. But the flight itself could be conducted without the non-IR pilot, just like the above flight could be conducted without the hooded pilot. The only difference I see is the lack of a 91.109(q) which would say: (q) No person may operate a civil aircraft in actual instrument flight unless-- [...] or (2) The other control seat is occupied by a safety pilot who possesses at least a private pilot certificate and instrument rating with category and class ratings appropriate to the aircraft being flown. Is this what it hangs on? Jose (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |
