Student Pilot Duel Cross Countries for business
Asked by: John Jameson 3054 views FAA Regulations
I'd like to propose a few scenarios that have come up lately.
Suppose a student pilot contacts the FBO where he/she has been receiving flight instruction and asks a CFI to take him/her on a cross-country flight while offering instruction for the duration of the flight. Once at the destination, the student intends to leave to attend a business meeting and return later for the return leg home. Could the FBO/CFI legally make this happen for the student? or would the willingness to fly any student pilot who asked (assumed) constitute holding out for common carriage?
If legal, then in the same scenario, instrument conditions are expected for a portion of the flight. Can the CFI operate under his/her instrument certificate until clear of IMC, while carrying the student as a passenger, who will then log time when IFR is cancelled? Or would the CFI PLANNING to transport the student during the IMC portion constitute common carriage?
