I am looking for a page of FAA interpretations on common questions, if one even exists.
I need it for a discussion I have been having with the non-flying owner.
I was talking to another student who is doing IR training in the office and mentioned we could do safety pilot work for each other. I went on to explain how we can both log PIC and it would count toward her XC time, not sure if it would count towards mine, and IR training time.
The owner of the school jumped in and said it was illegal and I could not be PIC if she(student) was flying. I tried explaining to her(owner) how it works, if I am the agreed upon PIC for the flight I can log the time she spends under the hood, she logs the whole flight since she is the sole manipulator. She does not beleive me so i would like to show her the FAA ruling on it, I showed her it in the FAR's and I guess she didn't agree with how I was interpreting it.
Also, am i correct in thinking that since I am a licensed PPL in ASEL any time I spend as the sole manipulator of the controls I can log as PIC? So even if I am in actual, even though I am not IR rated, if I am manipulating the airplane I am PIC, I just need an instructor or a rated IR pilot to be in actual.
How about when I am going for my tailwheel, high performance or complex? I am still rated in Category and class I just do not have the log book endorsement to fly it solo correct? However, when I go for my Multi that can only be logged as dual received because I will not be rated in Class correct?
I know this has all been covered before and I have read many of the threads as a way to see if my understanding of the FAR's were correct. Some of them are not so conclusive so I was hoping to the FAA would have cleared it up and pit it in writing.
