Instrument Student Pilot Filing IFR
"Jose" wrote in message om... 2. A student instrument pilot cannot accept an IFR clearance. Would I be correct in saying therefore, that the first time a pilot can practice and get real familier with the normal IFR procedures could be his first flight after being certified ? No. A student pilot can "relay the CFI's acceptance of a clearance", this practice is just as good as actually accepting one. Jose Jose, My understanding that by "accepting" you mean "reading back" ? I think when you use the word relay, you do not mean that the student informs ATC that he is relaying ? Roy |

Simply filing the flight plan OR operating in IMC condition is a violation. IFR flight plan in VMC is a violation unless the PIC NAMED, not just PIC is legal. I know of no FAR that says anything about who may perform secretarial functions such as typing some information into a computerized data-entry form, dictating information to a FSS guy on the phone, or reading back a radio transmission to a controller. |

I'm not sure if it is still a popular practice, but when a student was ready to work actual conditions in the system the instructor knew it and was typically willing to delegate the authority for filing, copying, accepting, executing, and amending the clearance to the student. Notice I said delegate the authority, not the responsibility. The CFII or ATP still retained the responsibility because he or she was the PIC and everything was filed under his or her license. By the time we had students ready for the system in actual conditions; we didn't worry about them making silly mistakes. We were only working on polishing and conditioning responses at that point. Of course the lawyer population has blossomed since the mid-70s, and frivolous lawsuits are more commonplace now, so this probably isn't still an acceptable practice. Acceptable or not, this is how I was trained two years ago. -- Mark Hansen, PP-ASEL, Instrument Airplane Cal Aggie Flying Farmers Sacramento, CA |

My understanding that by "accepting" you mean "reading back" ?
I think when you use the word relay, you do not mean that the student informs ATC that he is relaying ? The CFI officially "accepts" the clearance, and (with a wink and a nod), the student reads it back. I doubt ATC cares who is accepting the clearance, so long as it is accepted (or rejected). No, the student (in my sceneario) would not state that he is relaying a clearance, he would just read it back. He is, however, doing it under the authority of the CFII.

If that is the case I would consider that the FAR's fail to address the need for good operational training prior to being certified for instrument flight. Interesting isn't it ? Kind of like how you suddenly become qualified to accept a Class B clearance after you pass your PP checkride. .... Alan -- Alan Gerber PP-ASEL gerber AT panix DOT com |

Actually, the only purpose I can think of for requiring the pilots name
is for search and rescue purposes. If it is for regulatory reasons, then there should be a better way to make sure that no one else is using your name in their flight plans. Since ATC is not verifying the identify of the pilot every time they issue a clearance, I don't see how the pilots name could be used for anything meaningful beyond S&R. This also raises the question of whether a student pilot can put his name down as PIC for a dual cross country flight.

Who should file IFR for a training instrument flight ? The student or the CFII ? Thanks for input If you are not instrument rated, current, etc, it's not legal for you to act as PIC under IFR. You can file the flight plan (i.e. type it into DUATS, dictate it to FSS on the phone, etc) but put your instructor's name down in the PIC box. As a student I always filed under my name, but like some others have mentioned, listed instrument training flight. OTOH we were out shooting approaches (not on a flight plan) with the weather going down. It soon became apparent we were not going to be able to maintain VMC and told approach we'd either need to break off or be put in the system. They just entered the plane into the system without a whole lot of questions. The instructor mentioned to me that I should have given his name but not to worry about it. I don't recall them even asking for a name. Any way after a couple of approaches we thanked them and headed for home while we could still get in on the VOR approach. (this was before GPS approaches were common) OTOH (I've mentioned this before) I've had it suddenly go IMC just after lift off almost right in front of the tower. Once second it was 10 miles and well over 3000 and just a couple seconds later I could barely see the edge of the runway about 30 feet below and absolutely nothing ahead. I made an off hand remark to the tower about looking like the visibility was going down a bit to which they replied they'd noticed that. They knew we were IMC, I knew they knew, and they knew I knew they knew. We broke out on top still climbing out over the down wind leg. I reported on top at 3000 or what ever it was. They thanked me and when we hit 10 miles they announced the weather and were now IFR only. Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com |

The student can file.. but the CFII's name goes on the plan. |
